What are rocker switches?

Rocker switches are manually operated electromechanical devices used to control the flow of electrical current to a load. Typically, panel-mounted in commercial and marine vehicles, rocker switches feature an actuator that pivots like a seesaw on a center point to turn a connected device on or off or to control equipment. While many rocker switches are simple on-off

How do rocker switches work?

In a simple, normally open, on/off rocker switch, when the actuator is pushed to one side, it moves a contact located at the end of a semi-elliptical spring toward a fixed contact. When the contacts are touching, current flows and the connected device is turned on. To turn the device off, the actuator on the switch is pushed to the other side, returning the spring to
