Rotary switches have been around for centuries, being employed to control an array of mechanical and electronic devices. The 24878-08N is a type of rotary switch designed for light machine use, as it can handle up to 5A of current and sports a 4 position setting. By providing a large range of electrical possibilities and efficient operation, rotary switches like the 24878-08N have become an indispensable component in the industrial world.

The 24878-08N features four terminal ON-OFF selections, allowing its user to select different circuits as needed. This efficient design aside, the rotary switch also features two possible mechanical action: clockwise and counter-clockwise rotation. This means that with a single thing it’s user is able to control twice the amount of outputs.

In regards to application fields the 24878-08N can be found in computer control systems, car stereo systems, TV receiver sets and movable control panels, just to name a few. The device is also designed to work in a variety of light machines, such as electronic equipment, printed circuit boards, ovens, and furnaces. Additionally, its easy installation, low cost and diverse range of applications make it a favorite choice for many electronic engineers and maintenance personnel.

The way the 24878-08N works is fairly straightforward. When it gets energized, one of its four terminals will become active and the other three will be disconnected. In the case of low power applications, the unit can be wired with four simple electrical contacts, while in the case of higher power applications it must be wired in with a potentiometer to regulate the current.

This process takes place thanks to its two internal sets of contacts, which are separated by a thin sheet of insulation material. When the switch is in the OFF position, the contact arm and all the other terminal connections are electrically disconnected. When it is in the ON position, the arm contacts the terminals and energy is transferred from one point to the other.

Overall, the 24878-08N is a great all-round rotary switch. It is typically used as single switch devices in light machine applications, as well as digital control systems. The versatility of this device ensures that it won’t be phased out any time soon, and its efficient operation makes it a favorite choice of many engineers and technicians.
