Rocker Switch Actuators

**What are rocker switch actuators?**Rocker switch actuators are mechanical components used in electrical switches to control the flow of current. Rocker switch actuators are typically designed in the shape of a rocker or paddle, which can be manually pressed or toggled to open or close an electrical circuit. When the rocker or paddle is pressed on one side, the switch is turned on, and when it is pressed on the other side, the switch is turned off.Rocker switch actuators are commonly used in a wide range of applications, such as household appliances, automotive electronics, industrial machinery, and more. They are available in various sizes, shapes, and colours to suit different switch designs and functions. Some rocker switch actuators may also have additional features, such as illumination or marking to indicate the switch's status or function.**What Type of Rocker switches Actuators are there?**Single-Pole, Single-Throw (SPST) Rocker Switch Actuator: This type of rocker switch actuator controls a single circuit and has two positions: "on" and "off". It is commonly used for simple on/off applications.Single-Pole, Double-Throw (SPDT) Rocker Switch Actuator: This type of rocker switch actuator controls a single circuit and has three positions: "on", "off", and a third position that allows the circuit to be connected to one of two separate pathways. It is commonly used for applications where a switch needs to control two different circuits or functions.Double-Pole, Single-Throw (DPST) Rocker Switch Actuator: This type of rocker switch actuator controls two separate circuits simultaneously and has two positions: "on" and "off". It is commonly used for applications where two circuits need to be controlled independently.Double-Pole, Double-Throw (DPDT) Rocker Switch Actuator: This type of rocker switch actuator controls two separate circuits and has three positions: "on", "off", and a third position that allows the circuits to be connected to one of two separate pathways. It is commonly used for applications where two circuits need to be controlled independently and switched between different pathways.Momentary Rocker Switch Actuator: This type of rocker switch actuator is designed to return to its original position when released. It is used for applications where a temporary or momentary contact is required, such as for signalling or momentary control functions.Illuminated Rocker Switch Actuator: This type of rocker switch actuator includes built-in LED or other light sources to provide visual indication of the switch's status or function, often used in low-light or dark environments.Sealed Rocker Switch Actuator: This type of rocker switch actuator is designed with sealing properties to protect against dust, moisture, and other environmental conditions, making it suitable for outdoor or harsh environments.Rocker switch actuators are used in a wide variety of applications where electrical circuits need to be controlled. Some common applications where rocker switch actuators are used include:Household AppliancesIndustrial MachineryHVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) SystemsMarine and RV (Recreational Vehicles) ApplicationsElectronics and AppliancesIndustrial Control Panels:Medical and Healthcare Equipment
