300A Series Sealed Miniature Rocker and Paddle Switches

A rocker switch with independent circuitry 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. With dependent circuitry, the light is activated only when the switch is on.

300A Series Sealed Miniature Rocker and Paddle Switches

The 300A Series miniature rocker and paddle switches are sealed to IP67 standards. The 300A series miniature rocker switches also have multiple termination options.

300A series rocker switch applications include telecommunications, instrumentation, test equipment, networking equipment and computer peripherals.
