111-6E

Rotary switches form a critical link in many automated systems and different switch types are used for different applications. One such switch is the 111-6E Rotary Switch. This switch utilizes an Advanced 4-position, 6-pole, rotary switch designed for use in telecommunication systems. It is designed to provide multiple-connection switching between equipment. This technology is useful for applications such as voice/data switching, frequency/phase/amplitude selector networks and so on.Below is an overview of 111-6E switch’s application field and working principle.

The 111-6E is designed to be used with analog and digital systems. It is mainly used in telecommunications. It is capable of engaging multiple poles simultaneously by rotating the switch’s shaft or actuating it using an optional broom or pickup actuator. This makes it an ideal choice for applications such as Frequency/Phase/Amplitude Selector Networks, Voice/Data Switching, Digital Multiplex/De-multiplexing and so on. Its 6 poles provide up to 15 contact combinations to allow it to make almost any type of connection needed in any system.

The 111-6E switch operates based on the principle of electromechanical switching of electrical contact points. It is designed to switch up to 15 contacts when its shaft is turned into 4 different positions. It can be operated manually by rotating its shaft when its keyed black plastic cap is removed and it is also possible to have it actuated with an optional broom or pickup actuator. This actuator works by mechanically pushing the switch shaft into its individual positions.

Once the shaft is pushed into any of its positions, the contact points engage. There are silver plated copper alloy contact points inside the switch and they provide superior performance throughout its life cycle. The contact points are also enclosed in a glass filled nylon housing which is capable of withstanding temperatures up to 100C and is resistant to shock and vibration.

In addition to its contact switching capability, the 111-6E comes with two extra features. The first is its self-cleaning system which automatically washes the contact points and prevents them from sticking. The second feature is its anti-corrosion coating which makes it suitable for use in humid environments.

To sum up, the 111-6E is a robust rotary switch designed for use in telecommunications. It is capable of switching up to 15 electrical contacts with 4-position and 6-pole switching. It is also equipped with additional features such as a self-cleaning system and anti-corrosion coating to make it suitable for challenging environments. This makes it an ideal choice for applications such as Frequency/Phase/Amplitude Selector Networks and Voice/Data Switching.
