Similarly, once the same switch is turned OFF, then the contacts will be pulled into an open position. So in this position, the contacts will be touched to allow the flow of current between them. Once this switch is turned ON, then the contacts will be closed.

Here, a set of contacts in the switch allows the current flow when the switch is set to ON contact and will break the current flow, when the switch will be turned to off position. An actuator in the switch moves & applies force to the contacts to turn ON & OFF the switch whereas the set of contacts will determine whether the switch is set to ON/OFF. This switch includes two main components an actuator and a set of contacts. Once the switch is pushed from ON to OFF/OFF to ON state, then the spring movement within the switch will tilt the movable contact to establish the electrical connection through the output contact. The working principle of the rocker switch is very simple. Pin3 (GND): This pin is connected to the GND of the circuit.Once the rocker switch is turned ON, the load will be turned ON. Pin2 (ACC): This pin is connected to the load in the circuit.Pin1 (Power): This is a power pin, where the switch gets power from the power source.This switch includes three terminals which are discussed below. The rocker switch pin diagram is shown below. These switches are mainly used in display monitors, surge protectors, power supplies for computers, and many more. Sometimes, these types of switches are known as see-saw switches. There are two symbols on this switch where one is a circle symbol which indicates ON & the side is a line or horizontal dash which indicates OFF. It is IP68 sealed dustproof and waterproof.A rocker switch definition is an ON/OFF switch that trips once pressed on one side which means one side of the switch is raised while another side is depressed. Like all our rocker switches this is a genuine Carling Technologies product. When using our custom etched actuators you probably would 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! 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… and the lamps are only wired into one side of the switch which allows flexibility to use the right side (pins 4-5-6) for switching, and the left side (1-2-3) for illumination of the lamps. This switch may also be used as a SPDT switch by simply not using 3 of the terminals. The lamps act as indicators when the switch is on. This switch would be used when you want to feed (2) loads from 1 or 2 sources (like a boat’s navigation and anchor, or a car’s turn signal). It has two dependent lamps, one at the top and one at the bottom (What’s this?). It is Double Pole Double Throw (DPDT) and it’s function is ON-OFF-ON. The VJD1-D66B is a very common and very flexible rocker switch. Description VJD1-D66B ON-OFF-ON Rocker Switch
