Internationally Approved TV Rated Rockers
Series JW
Distinctive Characteristics
Industry’s first molded rocker with TV rating. Designed to
handle large inrush current. JWM models certified for TV-5
rating and JWL models for TV-8 rating.
Special 5A @ 72V DC rating for JWL models to use
in worldwide telecommunication equipment for
power distribution applications.
Prominent external insulating barriers increase
insulation resistance and dielectric strength.
Constructed for dust resistance with interior
cover between actuator and contact area.
Specially designed to break light contact welds.
JWMW panel seal version meets IP67 of IEC60529
Standards (similar to NEMA 4 and 6).
Terminals are molded in and epoxy sealed to lock out flux, dust,
and other contaminants.
Actual Size JWM
Housing and case of heat resistant resin meet UL 94V-0
standard.
