443461-1-02N

Rotary switches, or selector switches, are operators used to select between multiple input or output signals by means of a rotary knob or dial. 443461-1-02N rotary switches are designed for low voltage applications and offer reliable performance with minimal stress on the electrical components.

Application Field

443461-1-02N rotary switches are ideal for use in industrial and commercial applications requiring a large switching capacity with minimal fuss. These switches are used in the industrial automation, automotive, automotive instrumentation, electronic, communication, and medical sectors to enable control and selection of a variety of electrical signals.

Working Principle

443461-1-02N rotary switches employ a rotatable knob or dial to select between multiple electrical signals. The knob is connected to an actuating spindle, which then engages with a series of contacts placed in a cirular arrangement. This engagement allows for an electrical current to pass from one contact to the other, effectively selecting between signals.

This type of switching device is grounded when none of the contacts are actuated or when the knob is in its neutral state. This allows for a simpler configuration, as the device is effectively self-grounded when not in use.

The 443461-1-02N rotary switches provide a robust and reliable switching mechanism, as they were designed to withstand higher-current applications. They also feature a high temperature rating, making them suitable for use in extreme climates. Additionally, these switches are designed to work with a wide range of electrical components, allowing for versatility and compatibility in a variety of applications.
