6A Round Rocker Switch

Technical Specifications of Panel Mount Rocker Switch 6A 250V – Ideal for Home, Industrial, and Automotive Use

How Does a Rocker Switch Work?

A rocker switch operates by toggling between ‘on’ and ‘off’ positions. When in the ‘on’ position, internal contacts close to allow current to pass through, powering the connected device. In the ‘off’ position, these contacts open, breaking the circuit and cutting off power. This simple yet effective mechanism makes rocker switches ideal for controlling power in electronic circuits.

 When the switch is toggled to the 'on' position, it closes the internal contacts, allowing electrical current to flow through the circuit. Toggling it to the 'off' position opens the contacts, interrupting the current flow and turning off the connected device.
