Ive included the STEP CAD file to assist people to incorporate the model into their designs. Boat Marine Rocker Switch Panel 8 Gang Waterproof ON Off Toggle Switches with Digital Voltage Display 3.1A Dual USB Power Charge. The switch is rated 6A at 250VAC and 10A and 125VAC. It is IP68 sealed dustproof and waterproof. Here is my 3D drawing of a single pole rocker switch with a centre off position. Like all our rocker switches this is a genuine Carling Technologies product. When using our custom etched actuators you would NOT want to add a “Bottom Lens” for this switch (What’s this?). All actuators sold on this site will fit this switch. This V-series switch is meant to be paired with our custom etched rocker actuators (covers) or other actuators for a complete switch unit. With pins 1-2-3 and 4-5-6 isolated, you can provide two different inputs… for instance, you could put 12V+ into pin 2, and 12V- into pin 5, and with a few jumpers can reverse polarity on an electric motor, which is a very common use for this switch. We say it’s flexible for a reason: Notice in the wiring schematic, that the two halfs of the switch are isolated from each other… which allows flexibility to use, say… the right side (pins 4-5-6) for current switching, and the left side (1-2-3) for a low voltage external lamp. This switch may also be used as a SPDT switch by simply not using 3 of the terminals. The lamp acts as a backlight, triggered by an external signal. This switch would be used when you want to feed (2) loads from 1 or 2 sources momentarily (like opening and closing an electric or hydraulic door/hatch, or a boat’s tilt/trim system). It has one independent lamp at the top of the switch (What’s this?). It is Double Pole Double Throw (DPDT) and it’s function is (ON)-OFF-(ON), where (ON) represents a momentary function. The VLD1-A60B is a fairly common and flexible rocker switch.

FeaturesĮIA-520D000 - This sectional specification relates to the toggle, paddle and rocker operated family of special-use electro-mechanical switches of certified quality. Most rocker switch bases and rocker switch actuators are made of plastic, thermoplastic, or metal materials. Important specifications for rocker switches include dimensions, electrical ratings, terminal types, materials and features. Three-position momentary center-NEUTRAL rocker switches have a center position that can perform an OFF or NEUTRAL function. Momentary OFF - describes contacts which establish a circuit when the rocker switch is in the normal, closed (NC) position.Īlternate ON/OFF - describes a switch where the first actuation turns the rocker switch ON and the second actuation turns the rocker switch OFF. Momentary ON - describes contacts which interrupt the circuit when the rocker switch is in the normal, open (NO) position. Three-position rocker switches have a center position that may or may not perform an OFF function. ON/OF rocker switches have separate ON and OFF functions and work like light switches. Maintained-contact rocker switches are described as:
A normally closed (NC) rocker switch has contacts that are closed or connected in their unactuated (normal) position. They usually have six terminals are available in both momentary and maintained contact versions.Ī normally open (NO) rocker switch has contacts that are open or disconnected in their unactuated (normal) position. They usually have four terminals.ĭPDT rocker switches make or break the connection of two conductors to two separate circuits. SPDT switches are sometimes called three-way switches.ĭPST rocker switches make or break the connection of two circuit conductors in a single branch circuit.
These switches usually have three terminals and are commonly used in pairs. SPDT rocker switches make or break the connection of a single conductor with either of two other single conductors. This switch type typically has two terminals and is referred to as a single-pole switch. SPST rocker switches make or break the connection of a single conductor in a single branch circuit. Rocker switches are electrical switches actuated by a standard or dual rocker or paddle. They are available in different configurations including two-position On/Off, three-position, momentary, maintained and more.
