2 pin rocker switch - Pack of 5:

Here are some key features and considerations for a 2-pin rocker switch:

1. Number of Pins:
   • A 2-pin rocker switch has two electrical terminals or pins. The switch is designed to open or close the electrical circuit by rocking between two positions.
2. Functionality:
   • The basic function of a rocker switch is to provide a simple on/off or open/close control. When the switch is in one position, the circuit is closed, allowing current to flow. When the switch is in the other position, the circuit is open, interrupting the flow of current.
3. Rocker Design:
   • The switch is called a "rocker" switch because of its design. It typically has a flat, rectangular actuator (the "rocker") that can be pressed down on one side to make contact and on the other side to break contact.
4. Mounting:
   • 2-pin rocker switches are often designed for panel mounting. They may have a rectangular or round shape, and the switch body is mounted onto a panel or surface.
5. Applications:
   • 2-pin rocker switches find applications in a variety of devices, including electronic equipment, appliances, automotive applications, and other electrical systems where a simple on/off control is needed.
6. Illumination (Optional):
   • Some rocker switches come with built-in LED indicators for illumination. The illumination can indicate whether the switch is in the on or off position.
7. Ratings:
   • Check the electrical ratings of the switch, including the maximum voltage and current it can handle. This is important to ensure that the switch is suitable for the intended application.
