KCD3 DPDT Power Rocker Switch

Switches are electrical components that are used to turn power on and off for various types of devices that operate by electricity. Switches accomplish this by breaking the electrical circuit to remove power, and reestablishing the circuit to restore power. A rocker switch is a type of switch that breaks and connects the electrical circuit by "rocking" in one direction to break the circuit, and the other direction to connect the circuit. There are two main components of any type of rocker switch. The first component is an actuator, mounted on an axis that allows it to rotate back and forth. An actuator is the part of a switch that moves and applies force to the contacts to turn the switch on or off. The second component of the rocker switch is the set of contacts. The state of the contacts determines whether the switch is set to on or off.
