This rocker switch is a robust control device designed for panel mounting, offering a dual-pole, dual-throw (DPDT) configuration. With a rectangular actuator and no illumination, this unit is suitable for diverse applications. It features a panel cut-out size of 30 x 22 mm, ensuring it integrates seamlessly into various panels while accommodating a maximum operating temperature of +85°C.

• Designed for dual-pole control with a DPDT configuration
• Operates with an on-on switching mechanism for reliable function
• Supports a contact current rating of 16A for high loads
• Constructed for panel mount type for secure fitting
• Black actuator colour provides a professional appearance

• Effective in automation control panels for reliable operation
• Suitable for use in lighting control systems where dual functionality is required
• Utilised in machinery where manual control is necessary
• Integrated into electrical systems requiring a robust switching solution

The DPDT configuration enables control of two separate circuits, allowing versatile functionality within a single switch. This is particularly beneficial in applications needing multiple functions from one control point.

The quick connect terminals streamline the wiring process, reducing installation time and ensuring secure connections, which is essential for maintaining system integrity in electrical applications.

This model primarily functions within AC ratings of 125V and 250V, making it ideal for standard electrical systems. However, careful consideration should be given when adapting it for specific DC applications.

It is commonly used in control panels for appliances and equipment in both residential and industrial settings, where durable and reliable manual control is essential.
