08P36-06-2-03S

Rotary switches are sturdy and reliable actuators used in a range of industrial and consumer applications, and the 08P36-06-2-03S is an example of this family of components.Notably, this switch is deployed in facilities and processes which require precise and accurate operation, such as control centers and automated assembly lines.

As its model number implies, this is a dual-throw type of rotary switch. It is designed to provide two-position switching options with each pole. The overall design allows for the transfer of electrical energy from one supplying source to various locations and from various outlets to an end device.

The 08P36-06-2-03S switch consists of a case and a series of electrical operations functions, which are themselves derived from the features of the movable rotor. The switch case is composed of a housing for rotation and a series of connections which include an actuator and the aforementioned rotor, typically made from molded plastic or brass. Depending on the application, the switch may have from four to sixteen contacts, typically arranged in two rows. Depending on the requirements, the contacts can be made from aluminum or copper to provide maximum conductivity performance.

Between the two rows of contacts, a gap is provided which allows for the insertion of an actuator when the switch is in its \'off\' position. The choice of an actuator to use is typically determined by system requirements. These can range from a manual operator release to a key locking mechanism. Additionally, the possibility of alternative functions as normally open and normally closed contact operations or as a make or break contact is available.

The working principle of this rotary switch is centered around the rotor. As the rotor is turned, the performance of the electrical contact points located inside of the switch is changed, enabling the transfer of the electrical energy. Turning the rotor will typically cause a connection between two adjacent contacts on a single row.In addition to making the connection, a spring-loaded metal plunger pushes out against the actuator, thus providing the necessary guidance for the direction of the rotor when moving between contact points.

In conclusion, the 08P36-06-2-03S is a type of rotary switch designed for precise and accurate operation. Its design components and working principle make it an ideal choice for industrial applications which require smooth and reliable control functions.
