Rocker Switch Usage Areas
Rocker switches control the on / off functions of all home appliance products. The on / off function is the most important function of rocker switches, it also performs different functions such as 3 positions, button, momentary.
Switches form the actuation function that can be pressed from both ends, like a seesaw to activate or disengage the electrical circuit via the button. The longevity of the seesaw system is a very important function for a quality product. On-off life must be high in Rocker Switches.
Electrical Home Appliances
The most important place in the usage areas of rocker switches is electrical home appliances. As an example, rocker switches are used in a coffee machine or electric kettle. These switches must be resistant to heat and water for the longevity and safety of the finished product. The important point in determining the reliability of the product is the quality of the material used. While producing rocker switches, heat and fire resistant raw materials should be used. As it is used in home appliances, the safety of users is prioritized. V0 material and silver contacts used in our products are important factors that increase the quality of the product.
Another advantage of these switches is that they cannot be accidentally activated since they do not protrude. Rocker switches are much more universal and compatible with a wide variety of interior design styles. They tend to look more modern. In addition, these switches allow the user to know whether the device is turned on or off. Rocker switches can also provide illuminated feedback to the user. It can have an activated light in both open and closed positions, making the switch easy to find in the dark.
Apart from home appliances, rocker switches are used in surge protectors, display monitors, computer power supplies, printers, copiers, light systems and many other devices and applications.
For quality and safe production, product development and production area at international standards is required. Products must have various certificates of conformity. Quality controls should be carried out strictly, mass production machines suitable for the technology should be used, and a production network should be established in accordance with the standards.
Rocker Switches, which we encounter at every point of our lives, take the safety of the products we use to the highest level to keep us safe.

What is a Rocker Switch?
It appears as a technical term in Electricity and Electronics. They are the switches that we encounter in our lives. Rocker switches are different from the simple button we know; switch literally means "change", that is, a button has only one function which performs two tasks, turning the product on or off.
Rocker Switches house a button for operation that can be pressed on either end like a seesaw to connect or disconnect an electrical circuit. They are often used as ON/OFF functions on the main power supplies for electronic devices. The name “rocker” comes from the rocking motion that the switch makes when the button is pressed. Those devices control the on/off functions of all home appliance products. On/off is the most important function of a rocker switch, Additionally, it has different functions such as 3 positions, button, changeover too.Sometimes known as a seesaw switch. The long-life of the seesaw system is a very important function for a quality product. The rocker switch consis usagets of some main components. Let's examine these materials below.
On Rocker Switches, the Operation button itself clearly indicates the ON / OFF state, allowing a visual confirmation to prevent misoperation. This button is manually pressed by a person to switch between ON and OFF. Some of them has symbols printed on the button to indicate the ON/OFF status. Sealing rubber, It prevents dust and dirt from outside.
Spring, When the actuation switch is ON, this spring instantly moves the contact to the fixed contact point and applies a high contact force for stable contact between the two. In the OFF state, the release force of the contact increases, which helps prevent contact welding.
Inner Case and Cover, the components that make up the switch body (terminals, contacts and spring) are stored in the inner case and then closed inside the cover. The cover is also designed so that the switch can be easily mounted into a square hole in a panel.
A rocker switch can have a light activated on the face of the switch in both the on and off positions, which allows the switch to be found easily in the dark. A rocker switch may have a circle (for "on") on one end and a horizontal dash or line (for "off") on the other to let the user know if the device is on or off. There is also a plastic compartment inside, which increases the ease of installation and electrical safety.
Switch Prices
As with every product, switch prices may vary in its own market. The factors affecting switch prices are proportional to the quality of the switches. Quality workmanship shows itself at every stage of production. Even reasons such as the materials used and the continuous training of the workers affect the price of the switches. Quality workmanship is possible with an experienced and trained team.
With the developing technology, products must be constantly updated and developed. Keeping the products constantly up-to-date, increasing their quality and adapting to developing technology brings about R&D investments. Switch manufacturers should continue their R&D laboratory works in order to maintain their continuity.When all these expenses and investments are calculated, we can understand the production-cost balance of a quality Switch. R&D can take its place among the price factors of a quality switch.
Another factor affecting switch prices is the material used. The quality of the raw material used increases the efficiency and life of the Switches. Changing raw material prices and increasing shipping costs significantly affect the prices of Switches. Cause the raw material used in every product model is not the same, the price varies greatly.
V0 material and silver contacts used in Rocker Switches affect the price of the product. Silver contacts increase the speed of current transfer thanks to its conductivity. Thanks to its anti-oxidation structure, it eliminates problems such as rust and oxidation. The most important factors affecting the price for Rotary Switch are the brass contact structure used and the use of UL940 material structure. The most important feature of UL940 material structure is its flame retardant structure. Thanks to the brass contact structure of the Rotary Switches, they have a high ability to pass current.
Ampere values of the products are also among the factors that affect the price. Electrical values of our rocker switches are produced as 10A, 10A (2) and 16A (4). The difference in product prices is due to the fact that the raw materials used in the products and the products of the producers who keep the labor low are included in the market. The manufacturer's use of iron contacts instead of high quality contacts reduces the cost and the product price. Using poor quality products actually creates extra expense items for the manufacturer and reduces the quality of the finished product. Products purchased from Far Eastern countries add extra stock costs to the manufacturer and create time and personnel costs in case of malfunctions.
When producing switches, they must be produced in accordance with international standards. Products must have various certificates of conformity.Quality controls should be carried out strictly, mass production machines suitable for the technology should be used, and a production network should be established in accordance with the standards. The use of new raw materials, modern equipment and processes enable us to deliver premium quality products. Our modern equipment allows us to produce the highest quality and long-lasting product at a low price.
