The **KWSBS-15DB-R** is a specific model of a **Rocker Switch**. Based on standard electronic component nomenclature (often associated with manufacturers like Canal or similar industrial switch suppliers), this part is designed for power control in household appliances and industrial equipment. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Below is a breakdown of the typical electronic and physical characteristics for this component: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Switch Type** | Rocker Switch | | **Circuit Configuration** | SPST (Single Pole, Single Throw) or SPDT | | **Current Rating** | Typically 15A @ 125VAC / 10A @ 250VAC | | **Contact Resistance** | < 50mΩ | | **Insulation Resistance** | > 100MΩ (500VDC) | | **Dielectric Strength** | 1500VAC for 1 minute | | **Operating Temperature** | -25°C to +85°C | | **Mechanical Life** | > 10,000 Cycles | --- ### 2. Part Number Breakdown The alphanumeric code provides specific details about the build: * **KWSBS**: The series designation (Snap-in miniature/standard rocker). * **15**: Generally refers to the maximum amperage (15 Amps). * **DB**: Often indicates the physical housing shape or the terminal type (Double Bottom or specific Quick-Connect tabs). * **R**: Usually stands for **Red**, indicating the color of the actuator (the part you press). In many models, this also implies the switch is **Illuminated**. --- ### 3. Key Electronic Components & Materials * **Actuator (Rocker):** Made of Polycarbonate (PC) or Nylon 66. If it is the "R" (Red) version, it often contains a small **Neon Lamp** or **LED** and a current-limiting resistor inside to provide status lighting. * **Terminals:** Brass with silver or tin plating to ensure high conductivity and prevent oxidation. These are typically **4.8mm or 6.3mm Quick-Connect** lugs. * **Contacts:** Silver Alloy ($\text{AgSnO}_2$ or $\text{AgNi}$). Silver is used because of its excellent electrical conductivity and resistance to "welding" under high-current arcs. * **Spring Mechanism:** A high-tension copper alloy or steel leaf spring that provides the "snap" action to minimize arcing. --- ### 4. Typical Wiring Diagram For an illuminated version (R), there are usually 3 pins: ```text Pin 1: Line In (Hot) Pin 2: Load Out (To device) Pin 3: Neutral (For the internal lamp only) ```
