Rotary Switches

A rotary switch is a device commonly used to select between different circuits, in a variety of applications including marine, automotive and industrial settings. The 423521-1-02N is an example of a high-quality rotary switch used in these environments.

423521-1-02N Application Field

The 423521-1-02N rotary switch is designed for a wide range of applications. It is designed for use in harsh conditions and environments such as on a ship, in industrial settings, or in extreme temperature profiles. Its construction materials and design make it suitable for use in temperature ranges from -40°C to 125°C and its protection rating of 65 IP67 means it is protected against dust, dirt and water. For circuits that require intense mechanical manipulation, the 423521-1-02N has a wide mechanical life-span of up to 10,000 cycles.

423521-1-02N Working Principle

This rotary switch is composed of three major parts. The first is the housing which is composed of a die-cast zinc alloy and nickel plating. This gives the switch its strength and protection against corrosion. The second part is the knob, which is made of either anodized aluminum or plastic, depending on the model. The third part is the shaft, which is composed of solid carbon steel. This is essential for any rotary switch as the shaft is responsible for the rotational movement of the switch.

When the knob is turned, the shaft rotates, which in turn causes a series of electrical ports to open and close. This creates a connection between the chosen ports and allows current to flow, which can then be used to power the corresponding circuits. Once the knob is turned off, the ports will be disconnected, interrupting the flow of current.

Conclusions

The 423521-1-02N rotary switch is a versatile and reliable device used in a wide range of marine, automotive and industrial settings. The switch\'s protective housing, knob and shaft make it resistant to large temperature changes and harsh working environments. Its simple yet effective design allows it to easily switch between circuits, providing power as needed. The 423521-1-02N provides high-quality performance and is highly reliable.
