Rotary switches are widely used today in a range of different applications, typically to control the flow of power or a digital signal in an electrical circuit. They are available in a variety of sizes, shapes, and configurations and are typically made from metal or plastic. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of the model 08A36-07-2-04N rotary switch.

Applications of 08A36-07-2-04N

The 08A36-07-2-04N rotary switch is most commonly used for low-power electronics applications such as switching on/off circuits, selecting between inputs, adjusting resistance or voltage levels, selecting an output, and controlling the speed or intensity of a device. This model is most suitable for applications involving DC voltage or low-voltage AC and a few milliamps of current. It is also well-suited for communicating between low-power electronic components and testing electronic prototypes.

Working Principle of 08A36-07-2-04N

The 08A36-07-2-04N rotary switch consists of two main parts: a contact assembly and an actuator. The contact assembly consists of several contact sets, each consisting of three contacts with a common center contact. Each of the contact sets are connected with a rotating shaft that moves the contacts up and down according to the position of the rotary switch. The shaft also consists of an armature that is mechanically connected to the knob of the switch, allowing the user to rotate the switch to change the position of the contact set.

When the switch is activated, the contact set is moved up or down by the rotating shaft. Depending on the design of the contact set, either one or two of the periphery contacts will make or break the electrical connection. The direction and speed of the contact movement are determined by the amount of torque applied to the armature. When the switch is not activated, the contacts rest in the “open” position, meaning no electrical current or signal is passed through.

Conclusion

The 08A36-07-2-04N rotary switch is a versatile and reliable switch for use in low-power electronics applications. It is designed for DC voltage or low-voltage AC and a few milliamps of current and is well-suited for selecting inputs, controlling speed/intensity, and communication between components. The switch works by moving the contact set up or down when the armature is rotated, either making or breaking the electrical connection at the periphery contacts.
