Maintained switches stay in the position they are set to (latching), while momentary switches return to their default position when released.

What are Rocker Switches components?
Rocker switches are electromechanical devices that pivot on a central fulcrum to toggle circuits. Selection hinges on contact ratings (AC/DC), panel cutout dimensions, ingress protection (IP) ratings, and illumination requirements for illumination or momentary versus maintained action.
How to Choose Rocker Switches Components
Select based on the electrical load and the physical environment of the enclosure.
Contact Ratings
Ensure the switch handles your peak inrush current, not just steady-state load, to prevent contact welding.
Mounting Geometry
Verify panel cutout dimensions and panel thickness compatibility to ensure a secure, vibration-resistant fit.
Illumination Logic
Choose between independent or dependent lamp circuits based on whether the light should track the switch state.
Environmental Sealing
Specify IP-rated switches if the application involves moisture, dust, or outdoor exposure.
Actuation Style
Determine if you need maintained (latching) or momentary (spring-return) action for your control logic.
