Rotary switches are an eclectic mix of useful and often versatile electrical switches that can be used in a variety of applications. The 24801-06S, more commonly known as the C&K SL Series Ten Position Dual Wing Rotary Switch, is one of the most popular rotary switch configurations available today.

The SL Series is designed specifically for harsh environment applications, featuring a two-piece design to ensure durability under extreme environmental conditions. Featuring a solid metal housing and a snap-on pre-lubricated switch, the SL Series is optimally designed for applications that require precise switching between multiple connections.

The rotary switch is available in sixteen different configurations and comes with twelve, fourteen, sixteen or twenty three terminals depending on the number of positions selected. The 24801-06S is best suited for applications where multi-pole switching is needed and has excellent temperature ratings, up to +125°C.

The 24801-06S features two dual-wing rotary shafts with a choice of post and knurled knobs for ease of operation and visual identification of position. The switch is actuated by rotating the shaft to the appropriate position and secured by a locking ring that keeps the shaft from rotating inadvertently when the switch is pushed or pulled.

In terms of operation, the SL Series Dual Wing Rotary Switch acts like a set of multiple relays. When activated, the switch closes the connections between the circuit poles, allowing power to flow through and complete the intended circuit. When deactivated, the switch opens the connections, interrupting the power and breaking the circuit.
