Precision Control: 3-Pin Center-Off Spring Round Rocker Switch
Enhance your equipment's functionality with the 3-Pin Center-Off Spring Round Rocker Switch. This specialized switch features a momentary (ON)-OFF-(ON) action, where the actuator automatically returns to the center "OFF" position when released, making it ideal for precision tasks such as motor reversing or signal toggling.
Available in a sleek Black finish, the actuator is clearly marked with "I O II" symbols for intuitive operation. Its snap-in design facilitates rapid installation into standard circular panel cutouts, while the three robust solder terminals provide a secure electrical interface.
Key Performance Features:
-
Momentary Spring Return: Built-in spring mechanism ensures the switch always resets to the center "OFF" position for safety and control.
-
3-Pin SPDT Configuration: Enables the control of two separate circuits or a single motor's direction (Forward/Reverse).
-
Tool-Less Snap-In Mounting: Integrated plastic ribs lock the switch firmly into round panel holes without the need for additional hardware.
-
Reliable Electrical Performance: Designed to handle AC loads, featuring ratings of 6A at 250V AC or 10A at 125V AC.
-
High-Durability Housing: Constructed from flame-retardant plastic for longevity in demanding DIY or industrial environments.

Top 3 Customer Questions & Concerns þ
-
Does this switch stay in the "ON" position?
-
No, this is a "Spring Return" or "Momentary" switch. It will only stay "ON" as long as you are physically holding the button down.
-
-
What do the 3 pins represent?
-
The center pin is typically the "Common" (power in), while the top and bottom pins are the outputs for the "I" and "II" positions.
-
-
Is it easy to install in a custom panel?
-
Yes, the snap-in design is very user-friendly. Just ensure your circular hole diameter matches the switch body, and it will click into place.
