Introduction

A rotary switch, 42M36-01-1-02N (hereafter known as “the switch”) is a switch used to control electrical circuits. A rotary switch is a type of electromechanical equivalent of a pushbutton switch. They have a circular rotating knob, typically connected to a number of contacts. The switch is an ideal way to control circuits when a large number of switches are required.

Typical Applications

Rotary switches are widely used in many applications for a variety of reasons. Commonly, they are used as multi-position selector switches. They are also typically used to control the operation of a variety of fixtures, from lighting installations to heavy industrial machinery.In motors, rotary switches are often used to switch the direction of rotation of an AC motor or the direction of current. It is also used in the operation of a medium-voltage disconnect switch, where a large current is to be monitored and its direction controlled.

Working Principle

The working principle of the switch is very simple. As you turn the knob, the contacts are shifted according to the rotation of the knob. The contacts make electrical connections as the knob is moved from one position to another.Depending on the configuration of the switch, the contacts can be “make” or “break”. Make contacts allow current to flow when the switch is in a certain position, while break contacts break the current when the knob is turned to a certain position.

Construction of a Rotary Switch

The rotary switch consists of an inner rotating part and an outer stationary part. The inner part, typically a metal ring, is attached to the knob. The outer part consists of the contacts, which are arranged along the circumference of the ring in a circular pattern.The contacts are either solder points or spring-loaded female connectors with contactors. In either case, when the knob is turned, the contact points are constricted or expanded as the ring rotates. This movement of the contact points causes the switch to either open or close the circuit.

Other Types

Other types of rotary switches are also available. Toggle-type rotary switches, for example, allow the user to switch two or more circuits at once. Toggle switches are commonly used for controlling multiple lights in a room.Rotary switches also come in different configurations. For example, there are single-pole double-throw switches and double-pole double-throw switches.

Conclusion

The 42M36-01-1-02N rotary switch is a valuable tool for controlling electrical systems. Its simple yet effective design and wide range of uses make it an ideal choice for many applications. Its ability to switch two or more circuits at once makes functionality and installation much easier. With the right configuration, this switch can be used to control virtually any type of electrical circuit.
