Description
Blue LED backlit (ON)-OFF-(ON) rocker switch
The VLD1-AX0B is a very flexible rocker switch. It is a true Double Pole Double Throw (DPDT) – (ON)-OFF-(ON) switch, where (ON) represents a momentary function. It has one independent blue LED at the top of the switch (What’s this?). This switch would be used when you want to feed (2) loads from 1 or 2 sources momentarily (like opening and closing an electric or hydraulic door/hatch, or a boat’s tilt/trim system), when you want a blue backlight. The blue LED acts as a backlight, triggered by an external signal, like head lights or navigation lights.
This switch may also be used as a SPDT switch by simply not using 3 of the terminals.
We say it’s flexible for a reason: Notice in the wiring schematic, that the two halfs of the switch are isolated from each other… which allows flexibility to use, say… the right side (pins 4-5-6) for current switching, and the left side (1-2-3) for a low voltage external lamp. With pins 1-2-3 and 4-5-6 isolated, you can provide two different inputs… for instance, you could put 12V+ into pin 2, and 12V- into pin 5, and with a few jumpers can reverse polarity on an electric motor, which is a very common use for this switch when used to run a electric hatch or trim tabs.
This switch is identical to our VLD1-A60B (white lamps) and VLD1-AC0B (red LEDs), except it has a blue LED lighting.
When this blue LED rocker switch is used in conjunction with our custom etched rocker switch actuators, the symbol and label will look white when not backlit (b/c the actuator core is white), but will provide a stunning blue illumination when backlit. It’s also a good choice when the switch will be backlit most of the time b/c it produces less heat and operates longer than white incandescent.
This is a rocker switch body only. This V-series switch is meant to be paired with our custom etched rocker actuators (covers) or other actuators for a complete switch unit. All actuators sold on this site will fit this switch. When using our custom etched actuators you would NOT want to add a “Bottom Lens” for this switch (What’s this?).
Like all our rocker switches this is a genuine Carling Technologies product. It is IP68 sealed dustproof and waterproof.
