The **14-RSC441D1100** is a specific part number for a **Rocker Switch** manufactured by **E-Switch**. It belongs to the RSC series, which is known for high-current ratings and a snap-in mounting design. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Below are the primary electrical and physical characteristics of the component: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Switch Type** | Rocker Switch | | **Circuit** | SPST (Single Pole Single Throw) | | **Switch Function** | Off-On | | **Current Rating (AC)** | 20A @ 125VAC / 16A @ 250VAC | | **Horsepower Rating** | 3/4 HP | | **Contact Resistance** | 20 mΩ Max | | **Insulation Resistance** | 100 MΩ Min at 500VDC | | **Dielectric Strength** | 1,500VAC for 1 minute | | **Operating Temperature** | -20°C to +105°C | --- ### 2. Breakdown of Part Number (Nomenclature) The part number can be decoded to understand the specific configuration: * **RSC**: Series Name (High Current Rocker). * **4**: Terminal Type (Quick Connect, 6.3mm / 0.250"). * **4**: Circuit Code (SPST - Single Pole Single Throw). * **1**: Housing Color (Black). * **D**: Actuator Color (Red). * **1100**: Marking/Legend (Usually indicates no specific legend or standard "I/O" marking depending on regional distribution). --- ### 3. Key Components and Design 1. **Actuator (The Rocker):** Typically made of Polycarbonate or Nylon. In this model, it is red, providing high visibility. 2. **Housing:** Designed for "snap-in" mounting. This means it can be pushed into a rectangular panel cutout without the need for screws. 3. **Contacts:** Silver-plated copper alloy. The high current rating (20A) is achieved through robust internal contact points that minimize heat generation. 4. **Terminals:** Usually 1/4" (6.3mm) spade terminals, allowing for quick connection via female crimp connectors or direct soldering. --- ### 4. Common Applications Due to its high amperage rating, the 14-RSC441D1100 is commonly found in: * **Power Strips and Surge Protectors.** * **Industrial Equipment:** Control panels for machinery. * **Appliances:** Vacuum cleaners, space heaters, and coffee makers. * **Power Supplies:** Main power toggle for desktop units or lab equipment. ---
