DPDT ON-OFF-ON Rocker Switch – Lock Action

Description

• Type: DPDT ON-OFF-ON Rocker Switch – Lock 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.
• Lock Action: The lock action means that the switch stays in the selected position until manually moved to another position. It locks into place when toggled to “ON” or “OFF.”

• Actuation: Rocker switches are actuated by moving a rocker or paddle-like lever between the different positions.
• Applications: DPDT ON-OFF-ON rocker switches are used in applications where you need to control two separate electrical circuits, and you want the switch to remain in the selected state until manually changed. Common applications include lighting controls, motor direction control, and more.
• Termination: These switches typically have solder terminals, quick-connect terminals, or screw terminals for connecting wires.
• Mounting: DPDT ON-OFF-ON 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 the positions) they can reliably perform.
