What are Rocker switches?

Rocker Switches are electromechanical switches that operate on a see-saw mechanism; when one side is pressed down, the other side raises. Rockers are one of the most common types of switches, as they are reliable and easy to use. You will most likely see them in use as an on/off switch for a device, or to activate a certain feature. For example, you might use one to turn on your coffee machine.

 

Types of Rocker Switches

We supply a wide range of both Panel Mount and PCB rocker switches, with many different types available. Our rockers come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colours, with different actuator styles. We have both vertical and horizontal mount switches, making it easier to fit them into your product design.

If your design requires smaller switches, we offer miniature and sub-miniature options. We also have LED illuminated rockers with different illumination colours, and markings are available to make it clearer whether the switch is on or off.

 

Getting Technical

On the more technical side of things, we have rocker switches with a variety of voltages, in configurations from SPDT to 4PDT, meaning they can control up to 4 circuits at once.

If you need dust/water-resistant switches, a selection of our rockers are sealed with an IP67 rating. This means that they are completely protected against dust, and can withstand immersion in water for up to 30 minutes, between depths of 150mm and 1 metre (1000mm).

The standard function of most rocker switches is latching (the actuator stays in one place when pressed), but we can offer rockers with a momentary function (the actuator returns to its resting position immediately after releasing it), as well as with a 3-position configuration, instead of the typical 2-position type.
