Rotary switches are small devices that act as a controlling switch within a circuit. They allow a user to control the flow of power within a circuit, and can be found in applications as small as home appliances, and as large as industrial control systems. The 42HS36-03-2-05S is one such rotary switch, and this article will take a look at its application field and working principle.

Application Field:

The 42HS36-03-2-05S is a miniature rotary switch designed for high voltage applications. It can be used for AC and DC power applications up to 600V, and has a rated current of 1.5A. These characteristics make it ideal for a wide range of applications including industrial automation, home automation, and security systems.

Working Principle:

The 42HS36-03-2-05S is a two pole, three position rotary switch. This means that it has two movable parts, the switch shaft and the contact, which can be moved independently of each other. When the switch is in the “off” position, the contact is in the open position and no current will flow through the circuit. When the switch is rotated to either of the other two positions, the contact will close and current will flow through the circuit.

The 42HS36-03-2-05S is designed for high voltage applications and has a double-break contact design. This means that it has two contacts that close independently when the switch is rotated. This design provides greater insulation from high voltage and prevents electric arcs from forming on the contact surface. The double-break contact design also ensures more reliable switching and reduces the risk of damage when switching high voltage applications.

Conclusion:

The 42HS36-03-2-05S is a high voltage rotary switch designed for a variety of applications. Its double-break contact design provides greater insulation against high voltages and prevents electric arcs that can cause damage. This makes it ideal for industrial automation, home automation, and security systems.
