Introduction

Rotary switches are an extremely common switch type used to provide electrical control of devices such as motors, lights, and heaters. They allow for the selection and control of multiple switch settings with a single rotational action. The 24878-10S is a single pole multi-position, surface mounted rotary switch.

Technology

The 24878-10S utilizes both electro-mechanical and electro-static principles that are standard when using rotary switches. The mechanical principle relies on a rotating contact arm and detent system, while electrical principles involve insulation materials to help reduce the amount of power that is over drawn when the switch is in the ON position. The 24878-10S has 10 positions and the detent system enables the user to accurately select the desired setting with a single rotational motion.

Features

The 24878-10S is an advanced rotary switch that has many beneficial features, such as:

• 10 electrical positions to provide selection of multiple settings
• Electro-mechanical detent system to ensure accurate and repeatable selection
• Individual electrical connection points that allow for a wide range of wiring configurations
• Excellent insulation properties to keep currents under control for all settings

Applications

The 24878-10S multi-position rotary switch is suitable for a wide range of applications. It is most often used to provide electrical control in such devices as heaters, motors, and stereo amplifiers. It is also an ideal solution for low current and voltage applications, such as HVAC systems and other general purpose switch requirements.

Working Principle

Rotary switches operate via mechanical and electro-static principles. The mechanical principle is based on a rotating contact arm that is engaged and disengaged by a detent system as the switch is rotated. This system enables a single rotational action to move the switch to any desired position and provides feedback on the selected position. The electrical principle involves insulation materials that help reduce the amount of power over-draw when the switch is in the ON position.

Conclusion

The 24878-10S rotary switch provides the user with a reliable and repeatable solution for controlling low current and voltage applications. It has 10 highly visible electrical positions that are enabled and disengaged with a single rotational action. Through a combination of electro-mechanical and electro-static principles, this switch can provide accurate control for a variety of devices.
