DPDT Center Off Rocker Switch – Spring Action

Description

• Type: DPDT Center Off Rocker Switch – Spring Action
• Poles and Throws: “Double Pole” means it has two separate sets of contacts, and “Double Throw” means each set of contacts can be connected to one of two different electrical paths.
• Spring Action: The spring action means that the switch has a built-in spring mechanism. When you release the rocker, it returns to the center “OFF” position automatically due to the spring’s action.

• Actuation: Rocker switches are actuated by moving a rocker or paddle-like lever between the different positions. In this case, the spring action returns it to the center.
• Applications: DPDT Center Off rocker switches with spring action are used in various applications where you need to control two separate electrical circuits, and you want the switch to return to the center “OFF” position when released. Common applications include motor control, lighting control, and other equipment with forward/off/reverse control.
• Termination: These switches typically have solder terminals, quick-connect terminals, or screw terminals for connecting wires.
• Mounting: DPDT Center Off rocker switches can be panel-mounted or integrated into the design of various devices.
• Durability: Switches may have specified mechanical and electrical durability ratings, indicating the number of cycles (the number of times you can switch between the positions) they can reliably perform.
