Rocker Switches
A rocker switch is an electrical on/off switch that rocks from side to side when actuated, leaving one side raised and the other depressed. This rocking mechanism either connects or disconnects a circuit.
The C&K range of rocker switches includes subminiature, miniature and circuit breakers and offers a comprehensive range for PCB through-hole, surface mount and panel mount applications. Models are available in illuminated (LED and incandescent) and sealed/waterproof versions, with SPST, SPDT, DPST, DPDT, 3PDT and 4DPT functionality. PCB mount options include vertical, right angle and surface mount, while panel mount options include front mount, rear mount and snap-in versions.
ROCKER SWITCH ADAPTATIONS
With their multi-pole, multi-digit functionality, C&K rocker switches can be used in a variety of applications. Options such as a round shape, narrow width, rugged construction, beveled frames, recessed switch guards to protect against accidental actuation, splash-proof rubber boots and subminiature sizes for a space-saving small footprint make C&K the supplier of choice for rocker switches. C&K can support custom wire harness and actuator marking requests for qualified designs to meet customer requirements and needs.
