Description
The 16A 250V SPDT Rocker Switch is a high-capacity, heavy-duty power control component designed for demanding electronics, automotive systems, and industrial machinery. Featuring an integrated indicator light, this switch provides clear visual feedback of the “ON/OFF” status, ensuring safe and efficient operation. Its convenient snap-in design with top and bottom tabs allows for a secure, tool-free installation directly into your enclosure, providing a clean and professional finish.
Engineered for endurance, this 3-pin SPDT (Single-Pole, Double-Throw) switch is rated for a robust 16A at 250VAC. With a mechanical and electrical lifespan rated for 50,000 to 100,000 cycles, it provides consistent, long-term performance for robotics, DC motor control, and general-purpose power management. Its compact form factor makes it an excellent choice for modernizing control panels or custom DIY enclosures where space is at a premium.
