Rocker switches are a type of switch widely used in various electronic devices and control panels. Their unique rocking operating mechanism and various types of structures make them play an important role in different applications.
Different switch mechanisms:
1. Rocker switch
The rocker switch is one of the most common rocker switch mechanisms. Its operating mechanism allows the user to switch the state of the circuit through a horizontal rocking motion. This mechanism usually includes a rocker with one end connected to the switch circuit and the other end exposed for user operation. Advantages include ease of use, obvious operating instructions and durability. Rocker switches are commonly used in household appliances, automotive control panels and industrial equipment.
2. Side squeeze switch
The side squeeze switch is also called a "push button" switch. It has a small button that the user squeezes to switch the switch state. This mechanism is particularly useful in applications that require a compact design because it does not require a large range of rocking motion. Side squeeze switches are commonly used in small portable devices, remote controls and medical equipment.
3. Double rocker switch
The double rocker switch structure has two opposing rockers, allowing the user to switch multiple circuits in two directions. This mechanism is very flexible and is suitable for applications that require multiple operating positions, such as flight simulator control panels and audio tuners.
