The part number **14-RSC141D1000126** typically refers to a specific configuration of a **Rocker Switch**, often manufactured by companies like **E-Switch** (specifically the RSC series). These are power switches commonly found in appliances, power strips, and industrial equipment. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Table Below are the general specifications for the RSC series rocker switches based on the standard coding for this part number: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | Rocker Switch | | **Circuit Type** | SPST (Single Pole Single Throw) | | **Switch Function** | On-Off | | **Current Rating** | 20A 125VAC / 15A 250VAC | | **Termination Style** | Quick Connect (typically 0.250" tabs) | | **Actuator Style** | Curved Rocker | | **Mounting Type** | Panel Mount (Snap-in) | | **Operating Temp** | -20°C to +105°C | --- ### 2. Breakdown of the Part Number The alphanumeric code describes specific physical and electrical traits: * **RSC14**: Refers to the series and the physical housing size (typically a cutout of approx. 12.1mm x 27.2mm). * **1D**: Usually denotes the **SPST** circuitry and the **On-Off** operation. * **1000**: Generally indicates the actuator color and body color (e.g., Black body, Black actuator). * **126**: This suffix often refers to specific markings on the switch (e.g., the "I/O" symbols) or specific terminal plating. --- ### 3. Key Electronic Features * **High Current Handling:** Unlike miniature toggles, these are designed to handle mains voltage and high amperage (up to 20A), making them suitable for motor loads or heaters. * **Snap-in Mounting:** The body features plastic "ears" that compress when pushed into a panel, securing the switch without the need for screws. * **Contact Material:** Usually Silver Alloy, designed to minimize arcing and ensure a long lifecycle (often rated for 10,000 cycles). --- ### 4. Common Applications 1. **Consumer Electronics:** Coffee makers, vacuum cleaners, and power strips. 2. **Industrial:** Control panels for machinery. 3. **Computers:** Main power switches for PC power supplies (PSUs). ---
