Features:

1. Design and Construction

Teknic rocker switches are designed with a robust, industrial-grade body to ensure long-term reliability and resistance to environmental stress. They typically feature a snap-action mechanism, where the actuator “rocks” back and forth, making or breaking the electrical connection. The mechanism is precise and user-friendly, providing tactile feedback during operation.

The switches are made from high-grade thermoplastic or engineering polymer, which ensures excellent electrical insulation and resistance to heat, chemicals, and moisture. Metal parts are made from high-conductivity copper or brass with corrosion-resistant coatings, enhancing current flow and durability.

2. Available Variants and Configurations

Teknic offers a wide variety of rocker switches to suit different functional and aesthetic needs:

• Single Pole Single Throw (SPST): Used for simple ON/OFF switching in low-power applications.

• Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT): Allows switching between two outputs.

• Double Pole Single Throw (DPST): Controls two circuits simultaneously with a single action.

• Double Pole Double Throw (DPDT): Can switch between two pairs of circuits, useful for complex control operations.

Many variants come with additional features such as:

• Illuminated Rocker: With built-in LED or neon indicators for clear visibility of th

e ON/OFF state.

• Momentary Rocker Switches: Return to the neutral position after actuation, ideal for push-to-operate devices.

• Water-Resistant or Sealed Models: Suitable for outdoor or harsh environments.

3. Electrical Ratings and Safety

Teknic rocker switches are manufactured to meet or exceed international electrical safety standards. Depending on the model, the switches are rated for:

• AC Voltage: Commonly 250V AC

• Current Ratings: From 6A to 16A or higher, depending on the application

They are tested rigorously for dielectric strength, insulation resistance, endurance (mechanical and electrical), and temperature resistance, ensuring user safety and reliable performance in both domestic and industrial settings.

4. Mounting and Aesthetic Integration

The switches are available in snap-in panel mount or screw-mount designs, making them suitable for integration into control panels, consumer appliances, and electronic devices. Teknic rocker switches are known for their sleek, contemporary design, often available in black, red, white, or customized colors with markings for easy identification.

Their smooth operation and visual clarity make them suitable for both technical operators and general consumers.

5. Applications of Teknic Rocker Switches

Due to their reliability and versatility, Teknic rocker switches are used in a broad spectrum of industries and devices, including:

• Electrical Panels and Distribution Boards

• Industrial Machinery

• Household Appliances (e.g., mixers, heaters, water dispensers)

• Medical Equipment

• Automotive and Marine Control Systems

• Power Strips and Surge Protectors

• Generators and Inverters

• Testing Equipment and Control Stations

Their wide operating temperature range and environmental resilience make them suitable even for outdoor or heavy-duty industrial environments.
