FAQs

What does SPST mean?

SPST stands for Single Pole Single Throw. This means the switch has one input and one output, allowing it to simply open or close a circuit, turning a device on or off.

Can this switch be used for DC power?

No, this switch is specifically rated for AC (Alternating Current) power and should not be used for DC (Direct Current) applications as it may not function correctly or safely.

What is the recommended panel cutout size?

The recommended mounting hole diameter for this switch is 16mm.

What are the maximum voltage and amperage ratings?

The switch is rated for AC 3A/250V and AC 6A/125V.

How many wires connect to this switch?

This is an SPST switch with two terminals, so two wires will connect to it – one for the incoming power and one for the outgoing power to the device.

How is the switch secured in a panel?

The switch is typically secured by friction fit into the correctly sized mounting hole. Some panel designs may allow for a retaining nut or clip.

Troubleshooting

Switch does not turn device on/off.

Verify that the switch is correctly wired to both the power source and the device. Ensure the electrical ratings of the switch are suitable for the load. Check for any obstructions preventing the rocker from moving freely.

Intermittent connection or flickering light.

Inspect the wire connections to the switch terminals for looseness or corrosion. Ensure the switch is securely mounted and not experiencing physical stress. The switch may be worn out or damaged if the issue persists.

Switch feels loose in the mounting hole.

Check if a retaining mechanism (like a nut) is missing or loose. If the fit is inherently too loose, consider using a small amount of adhesive or a shim to secure it, being careful not to impede the switch's operation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable materials ensure a long lifespan.
  • Easy to install and integrate into projects.
  • Reliable SPST functionality for simple on/off control.
  • Tested for quality and fitment.
  • Suitable for a variety of low-to-medium power AC applications.

Cons

  • Limited to AC applications, not suitable for DC.
  • Specific voltage and amperage ratings restrict use in high-power devices.
  • Two-pin design means it's a simple on/off switch with no additional features.
  • Requires panel mounting with a specific hole size.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify the two terminals on the back of the rocker switch.
  2. Ensure the mounting hole on your panel or enclosure is precisely 16mm in diameter.
  3. Insert the switch into the mounting hole.
  4. Secure the switch, often with a retaining nut or by friction fit depending on the panel design.
  5. Wire the switch into your circuit according to standard SPST wiring practices, connecting one wire to each terminal.

Compatibility:

  • Electrical: Compatible with AC circuits up to 3A at 250V or 6A at 125V. Do not exceed these ratings.
  • Mechanical: Requires a 16mm diameter mounting hole. Ensure clearance for the switch body behind the panel.

Care:

  • Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth to clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Ensure connections remain clean and free from corrosion for optimal performance.
