Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does DPDT ON/OFF/ON mean on a KCD4 rocker switch?
A: DPDT stands for Double Pole Double Throw, meaning the switch controls two separate circuits at the same time. The ON/OFF/ON positions allow you to connect to one circuit (first ON), fully disconnect (OFF), or connect to a second circuit (second ON). This is commonly used for motor direction control, dual power source selection, and multi-circuit switching applications.
Q: What panel cutout size does this KCD4 rocker switch require?
A: This KCD4 rocker switch requires a standard panel cutout of 30 × 21 mm (approximately 1.2" × 0.8"). This is a widely used size that fits most commercial project enclosures and electrical panels without any custom modifications.
Q: What is the maximum current and voltage rating for this switch?
A: This rocker switch is rated for 16A at 250V AC and 20A at 125V AC, making it suitable for a wide range of high-current household, industrial, and DIY electrical applications. Always ensure your application does not exceed these ratings for safe and reliable operation.
Q: How many pins does this rocker switch have, and how are they wired?
A: This switch has 6 pins corresponding to its DPDT configuration — two poles, each with three terminals (common, normally open, normally closed). Refer to a standard DPDT wiring diagram to correctly connect your circuits based on your specific ON/OFF/ON switching needs.
