Description
The KCD1 6A 250V SPDT Rocker Switch is a versatile, high-reliability power control solution ideal for a wide range of electronic projects, automotive systems, and household appliances. Featuring a convenient snap-in design with integrated mounting tabs, this switch secures firmly into panels or enclosures without the need for additional screws or hardware. Its clearly marked “I/O” positions and integrated illumination ensure users have instant visual confirmation of the circuit status during operation.
Engineered for endurance, this 3-pin SPDT (Single-Pole, Double-Throw) switch is rated for a load capacity of 6A at 250VAC (up to 10A at 125VAC). 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, industrial machinery, and marine applications. Its compact form factor makes it an excellent choice for modernizing control panels or custom DIY enclosures.
