Rocker Oval Switch Black/Black 3 Pin Centre Off-On-Off-On Copper KCD1-105

KCD1-105 Oval Rocker Switch – Black/Black | 3 Pin | Centre Off | On-Off-On | Copper Contacts

Overview

The KCD1-105 Oval Rocker Switch is a compact, reliable 3-position panel-mount switch designed for applications that require switching between two circuits with a safe neutral OFF position at the centre. With its sleek black body, black actuator, and high-conductivity copper contacts, this switch offers both durability and precision for professional and DIY use alike.

How It Works

This is a 3-position Centre Off rocker switch. In the neutral (centre) position, the circuit is completely OFF — no current flows. Rocking the switch forward activates Circuit 1 (ON), while rocking it backward activates Circuit 2 (ON). This makes it ideal for direction control, dual-mode appliances, or any application requiring two separate switched outputs.

Common Applications

• Home appliances (water dispensers, exhaust fans, coolers)
• Automotive and vehicle accessories
• Industrial control panels and machinery
• DIY electronics and hobbyist projects
• Lighting systems with dual-zone control
• Power tools and portable equipment

Why Choose This Switch?

Unlike standard ON/OFF switches, the Centre Off configuration ensures both circuits are safely disconnected when the switch is in the middle position — reducing the risk of accidental activation. The copper contact construction provides superior conductivity compared to standard alloy contacts, ensuring lower heat generation and longer product life.
