Rotary Switches

Rotary switches are a type of electrical switch used to control electrical power or signals. They differ from other types of switches in that they are usually operated electronically, either by a motor, or manually by hand. The most common type of rotary switch is the 42M36-01-1-08N, which has a wide range of applications and works on the principle of connecting and disconnecting two terminals.

Application Fields

The primary application of the 42M36-01-1-08N rotary switch is in automation, manufacturing and industrial environments. This type of switch is typically used in a variety of industries, including the automotive and aerospace industries. It can also be used in medical and laboratory settings, as well as in residential and commercial applications, such as in automation processes. The switch is also used in the telecommunications and security industries.

Working Principle

The 42M36-01-1-08N rotary switch is designed to work on the principle of connecting and disconnecting two terminals. When the switch is in the open position, the two terminals are not electrically connected and no current can flow through the switch. When the switch is in the closed position, the two terminals are connected and current can flow. The switch is only able to connect two different circuits or two different voltage levels depending on the position of the movable contacts.

Types and Designs

The 42M36-01-1-08N rotary switch comes in a variety of types, sizes and designs. The most common type is the classic version, which consists of a few fixed contacts and a single movable contact. This type is used in standard applications and is suitable for a wide range of applications. Other types of rotary switches include those with a double movable contact, which can be used in special applications. Additionally, there are also special designs such as switches with slide actuators and switches with snap action contacts.

Advantages

The 42M36-01-1-08N rotary switch has many advantages over other types of switches. It is compact and is able to switch exceptionally small contacts in a very small space. Additionally, it is reliable and can handle large currents, making it ideal for a variety of applications. The switch is also reasonably priced and easily available, making it a popular choice for a variety of applications.
