Rotary Switches

Rotary switches are reliable, user-friendly devices that have remained popular over centuries. While their traditional use may be limited to dimming lights or selecting channels on a home stereo, their modern applications are much more versatile.

The 08M36-06-1-08N is a rotary switch that is capable of meeting a variety of needs in industrial and commercial applications. It is a two-pole, three-position switch with a double-throw switch mechanism. The switch is also available as a single throw. The switch is rated for use at 20 A 250V AC, 10 A 125V AC, and 16 A 125V AC.

Application Field

The 08M36-06-1-08N rotary switch is well-suited for multiple applications. It is ideal for use in domestic lighting projects, commercial buildings, or mechanical equipment with multiple power sources. This switch can also be used in DC circuits, as well as AC circuits. Furthermore, thanks to its high current rating, this switch is also suitable for use in heavy-duty equipment.

Working Principle

When properly installed, the 08M36-06-1-08N rotary switch functions by allowing the user to select between multiple power sources or control multiple devices simultaneously. The switches have four contacts which help to control an electrical circuit, as well as two wiper arms which connect the contacts to provide the user with multiple options. When the switch is rotated, the wiper arms are pushed in, connecting the contacts and turning on the circuit. When the switch is rotated in the opposite direction, the wiper arms move out, breaking the circuit and turning it off. The double-throw switch is a more advanced configuration and allows for the user to control two circuits at the same time.

Conclusion

The 08M36-06-1-08N rotary switch is a reliable and cost-effective device that can be used to control an electrical circuit or device. The switch is versatile and can be used in a variety of applications. Thanks to its durable construction, the switch is rated for use in high current applications. The switch’s ability to turn on and off multiple circuits makes it a great choice for use in both industrial and commercial applications.
