Definition of a Rocker Switch

The rocker switch, also known as the waveform switch, has the same structure as the toggle switch, except that the knob is changed to the boat. Boat switch is commonly used as a power switch of electronic equipment.

Its contacts are divided into single pole single throw and double pole double throw, etc. Some switches are also equipped with indicators, which are called boat switch with light.

FILN can make different colors with lights. Filn can make red, green, white, yellow, blue boat switch with lights or black switch without lights.

General light color can be 3v 6v 12v 24v 36v 48v 110v 220v 380v. We can do all of these voltages.

Application range of boat switch

Rocker switch has been widely used in household appliances. For example, the water dispenser, treadmill, computer speaker, battery car, motorcycle, ion TV, coffee pot, slot, massage machine, etc. can be seen in the shadow of the boat-shaped switch. The range of applications is particularly wide.

Test method for the life of rocker switches

The main test number of opening and closing, until the damage, if you do not manually use a small motor to drive the eccentric opening and closing switch, with a counter to record the number!

This switch requires safety certification is a must, the product in domestic sales with CQC, foreign words to see the specific sales to which country, such as the United States UL, Canada CUL, European countries have VDE, ENEC, TUV safety certification.

FILN's self-developed 30A high-current waterproof boat switch has obtained UL certification and has a design patent.
