Rocker switch HLS
Miniature Rocker Switches
-
Economical prices are achieved through out-and-out VA and silver-saving design.
-
Contact stability and high reliability are ensured thanks to the adoption of the seesaw type sliding contact mechanism (patented) (see the figure below) and the switch are usable for a wide range of current capacity from 1 mA to 12 A.
-
In addition, the self-extinguishing phenol resin is used for the housing material, thereby ensuring excellent insulation and surge resistance.
-
All models excluding HLS308A are UL recognized and CSA certified for high reliability.

Terminal Styles
Seesaw Type Sliding Mechanism (Patented)
The movable contact moves from (A) to (B) as it wipes the contact surface and, at (B) and (C), the switching feel can be obtained due to the seesaw effect on the common terminal (2). Then, the movable contact moves from (C) to (D) as it wipes the contact surface and, at the point (D), the common terminal (2) and the terminal (3) are turned ON.
