Description
The 10A 250V DPDT ON-OFF-ON Rocker Switch is a versatile, heavy-duty control component designed for applications requiring a center-off position. Featuring a DPDT (Double-Pole, Double-Throw) configuration, this switch provides two independent poles that can toggle between two separate “ON” states with a middle “OFF” position, making it perfect for motor direction control (forward/reverse), lighting modes, or source selection.
Designed for efficiency, this switch utilizes integrated snap-in tabs to secure firmly into panels or enclosures without the need for screws or mounting hardware. It is rated for a robust 10A at 250VAC, ensuring reliability for high-current applications such as DC motors in robotics, industrial machinery, and automotive systems. Its compact design and tactile “I-O-II” operation make it an ideal choice for custom control panels and general-purpose power management.
