44HGS30-02C05N

Rotary switches are an integral part of many workplaces and machines, and their application fields range from low to high voltage circuits. One popular rotary switch is the 44HGS30-02C05N, a universal mini switch from Cherry. This switch has two independent rotary arms and two break-before-make toggle switches. The rotary arms are rated for three circuit positions and the toggle switches are rated for two circuit positions. The 44HGS30-02C05N can be used to switch multiple circuits, such as the left and right turn signals of a vehicle.

Application Field

The 44HGS30-02C05N can be used in a wide variety of applications, including communications, automotive, medical, industrial and consumer electronics. It can be used to switch high voltage or low voltage circuits, such as connecting and disconnecting telephones, automotive accessories or power supplies. It can also be used in domestic lighting and industrial control applications. The switch is UL recognized which means it can be used in safety-critical applications. It is also IP4X certified for dust and water ingress protection.

Working Principle

The 44HGS30-02C05N rotary switch has two independent rotary arms and two break-before-make toggle switches. The rotary arms control the switching direction of the rotary arms, and the toggle switches control the switching direction of the toggle switches. The two independent rotary arms are responsible for switching the left and right turn signals of the vehicle. When the driver activates the turn signal, the rotary arm controlling the direction of the turn turns and engages the contacts. This creates the electrical circuit needed to turn on the left or right turn signal. The toggle switches are responsible for switching the electrical circuits of the vehicle based on the position of the rotary arms.

The 44HGS30-02C05N has a wide range of applications, including automotive, medical, industrial, communications and consumer electronics. It can handle low voltage circuits as well as high voltage circuits. The switch is UL recognized, meaning it can be used in safety-critical applications. It is also IP4X certified, providing protection against dust and water ingress. The two independent rotary arms control the direction of the rotary arms, and the two break-before-make toggle switches control the direction of the toggle switches, providing efficient switching for the left and right turn signals.
