Description
The KCD4 Rocker Switch is a heavy-duty, high-capacity power control component designed for demanding electronics, home appliances, and industrial equipment. Featuring a DPST (Double-Pole, Single-Throw) configuration, this switch provides four terminals, allowing you to control two separate circuit paths simultaneously with a single “ON/OFF” action. Its integrated snap-in tabs allow for secure, screwless installation directly into your enclosure, making it a professional choice for control panels and power supply units.
Engineered for longevity and performance, this KCD4 model features a robust yellow actuator with an in-built light indicator, providing clear status identification during operation. Rated for 16A, it is built to handle higher current loads compared to standard switches, ensuring reliability in applications ranging from automotive systems and car/boat horns to audio amplifiers and DIY power electronics.
