Rocker buttons are particularly suitable for operating doorbells and door openers and, in conjunction with a relay, also for switching staircase lights. The rocker is held in position by a spring. Pressing the rocker closes the circuit; when the pressure is released, the circuit opens again.
Central insert made of porcelain, rocker made of thermoset (Duroplast). The base body of our rocker switches is made of a technical porcelain called steatite and has solid screw contacts.
On the correspondingly labelled models photoluminescent pigments that are free from radioactive substances, lead, cadmium and chrome have been applied to the contact surface of the rocker. When exposed to light, these pigments become charged with energy and glow in the dark. This means that the button can also be found in the dark. This purely physical process guarantees long-lasting function without signs of wear.
