Rotary switches are commonly used components in various applications. They are classic universal switches that offer a wide array of options for achieving the desired functionalities. Among them, the 42HS36-03-1-04N rotary switch is a type of heavy-duty 6-pole switches with electrical and thermal ratings of 16 A and 13 A, respectively. It comes with an off-position settings and IP67 ingress protection rating. Furthermore, it offers up to 4-positions options to allow users to select from a wide range of settings within a single switch.

The 42HS36-03-1-04N rotary switch features a helical design consisting of two rotary sears housed in a rugged die-cast alloy frame. Its rotor is distinguishable by a series of knurled plastic knobs which allow the user to have an optimal grip over the switch for making the required settings. It offers a wide variety of settings for both rotary and stationary operations. As part of its design, the rotor is secured by means of a suitable locking mechanism to ensure that the settings are not disturbed during use.

The application of the 42HS36-03-1-04N rotary switch can be optimized by using a suitable actuator. This can be either manual or electronic, depending on the usage requirements. For manual operations, the switch is generally operated by rotating the knurled plastic knob. As for electronic operations, the switch is actuated by using an external force to rotate the knob. In either case, the rotary action of the switch is transformed into a signal which is made available at the contact terminals of the switch.

The working principle behind the 42HS36-03-1-04N rotary switch is based on the contact reordering principle. This means that its internal contacts are arranged in such a way that when the rotor rotates, it causes the contacts to rearrange themselves in sequence. This enables the switch to maintain its settings even when it is rotated back and forth. The switching action of the rotary switch takes place when the contacts are arranged in a specific configuration, thus allowing the signal to pass through the switch.

The 42HS36-03-1-04N rotary switch is commonly used for various applications, including electrical switches, control panels, variable frequency drives and many more. With its versatile design, this switch is able to perform in a variety of settings and can be used in both residential and commercial environments. Its contact arrangement and wide range of configurations make this switch a perfect choice for applications requiring reliable operation over a long lifespan.
