Rotary Switches

Rotary switches are multi-pole, multi-position manual switches. Instead of pushing a button, a user rotates a small knob that is attached to the switch to move the internal contact arm from one switch contact to another. The contact arms of rotary switches can be modified to make electric and mechanical connections as well as open circuits.

08MS36-03-1-10S is a type of rotary switch featuring a three pole single throw construction with 10 switch positions. It features a shaft assembly with one 10-spline position, with detent and indexing (spring return), and operates at a maximum of 450VAC/300VDC and 15A.

Application Field and Working Principle

08MS36-03-1-10S rotary switches can be used for various applications, such as controlling the flow of electricity in electrical circuits, providing supplementary contact points for test equipment, or replacing other existing switches. They are especially useful for applications where high voltage and current are needed since they can operate at a maximum of 450VAC/300VDC and 15A.

The working principle of 08MS36-03-1-10S rotary switches is that when the user rotates the small knob attached to the switch, the internal contact arm moves from one switch contact to another, thus making or breaking the electric or mechanical connections. This allows for various levels of control, such as making simultaneous connections or multiple switching points. The contact arms of rotary switches can also be modified to open circuits as well.

The 08MS36-03-1-10S rotary switch is designed with a detent and spring return mechanism, which ensures that the switch stays in the current position during operation and returns to its original position after the switch is released. This ensures that the switch can be accurately operated in challenging situations.

Since rotary switches operate on mechanical means, they are able to tolerate a wide range of environmental conditions. This makes them well-suited for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Finally, rotary switches can also be used with other devices, such as LED light switches, circuit breakers, and fuse boxes, to provide additional features and points of control.

Conclusion

08MS36-03-1-10S rotary switches have many advantages, such as high current handling capability, multiple capacitance levels, and weather resistant housings. As they can be used to control electricity in electrical circuits, and can be customized to open circuits as well, they offer a wide range of flexibility for various applications.

Furthermore, due to their mechanical design, the switches are designed for long-term reliability, and are able to tolerate a wide range of environmental conditions, which makes them a preferred choice for various applications.
