Description
The 16A 250V AC DPDT Momentary Rocker Switch is a heavy-duty, high-capacity control component designed for demanding electronics, automotive systems, and industrial machinery. Featuring a DPDT (Double-Pole, Double-Throw) structure, this switch offers robust performance for applications requiring precise control. Its momentary ON-OFF-ON action makes it an ideal choice for tasks like motor direction control (forward/reverse), horn activation, or other operations where a temporary, spring-returned state is required.
Designed for professional-grade power management, this switch is rated for 16A at 250VAC, ensuring reliability in high-current environments. It features an integrated snap-in tab design, allowing for a secure, screwless installation directly into your project enclosure. With a durable build rated for up to 100,000 cycles, this switch provides the longevity and tactile precision needed for robotics, custom control panels, and portable electronic equipment.
Key Features
- Design: DPDT (Double-Pole, Double-Throw) configuration
- Action: Momentary ON-OFF-ON (spring-return) for precise operational control
- Mounting: Snap-in “tab” design for fast, tool-free panel installation
- Capacity: Heavy-duty rating of 16A at 250VAC for high-load projects
