Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this switch handle continuous use? A: Yes, it is rated for 20A continuous at 12V DC, but momentary operation is recommended for motor direction changes to extend switch life.
Q: How do I wire a reverse polarity rocker switch? A: Connect power and ground to common pins, then motor leads to the normally open pins; toggling reverses polarity across the motor.
