Rotary switches are electrical devices that can be utilized to turn electricity on or off. They are sometimes referred to as “rotary on/off switches”, due to the fact that they are able to switch on or off electricity in a single 360-degree complete turn. Commonly found in both residential and commercial building’s wiring, the rotary switch is normally connected to an electrical circuit in conjunction with a light switch, dimmer, or timer. The 42HBS36-03C04N is a type of rotary switch that has a number of applications and a specific working principle.

42HBS36-03C04N Applications

The 42HBS36-03C04N is a rugged, commercial grade rotary switch, designed with a multi-pole switching function. It also features 3 electrical positions and 4 electrical poles, making it an ideal choice for a number of applications. Some of its most common uses are as follows:

• It can be used in conjunction with dimmers, timers, and other switches to enable an individual to control the amount and duration of light in a particular space.
• It can be used to turn on or off single or multiple circuits within an electrical system, allowing for greater customization and control.
• It can be used to operate the power of motors and other types of machinery.

Due to its design, the 42HBS36-03C04N is relatively easy to install and provides a robust connection. It also features a silver-coated brass liner that is resistant to corrosion, allowing it to maintain its high performance even after years of use.

42HBS36-03C04N Working Principle

A rotary switch works by utilizing a knob or dial which operates a metal, electrically conductive contact arm. As the knob is rotated, the metal wheel simultaneously connecst and disconnects to metal contacts positioned in several locations. Depending on the number of contacts, the switch may have several set positions that it can move in, or multiple positions that it can rotate in.

The 42HBS36-03C04N switch is designed in such a way that when the switch is operated, it will create a connection between two points in the circuit (the common point and the other pole). This will cause the energy to “arc” between the two points, allowing the electrical current to flow through the switch and down the wires to ultimately power up a motor or any other device connected to the circuit.

A rotary switch is often referred to as a “make-before-break” switch, as the switch requires that a new connection be made before the existing one can be broken. This ensures that the electrical connections to the circuit remains intact as the switch is operated, preventing any electricity from being unintentionally discharged.

The 42HBS36-03C04N rotary switch also features a unique double-break design, which acts as an additional measure to reduce the occurrence of electrical arc-over. This double-break technology is designed to ensure that there will be a partial or full disconnection between the two contact points before a new connection is made.

Conclusion

The 42HBS36-03C04N is a versatile rotary switch featuring multiple applications and a sturdy, rugged design. It is able to provide a reliable connection, while also allowing for greater customization and control in a variety of circuits. The 42HBS36-03C04N operates using a makes-before break mechanism to ensure that circuits remain intact as the switch is operated, while its unique double-break design further reduces the potential for electrical arc-over.
