Rotary Switches

50KMT36-01B10N is a rotary switch, which is used to rapidly connect and disconnect a circuit. It is also used to switch between different current positions or flow paths in an electrical circuit. It can accommodate up to 10 positions and guarantees 360 degrees of motion either in CW or CCW direction. It includes internal transfer contacts and track isolation for related components.

Application Field

Rotary switches can be found in a variety of applications from switching motors on and off, controlling speed and direction, selecting between different currents, voltage, and frequency. It can be used to control AC and DC applications. It’s an essential component in appliances like microwave ovens, refrigerator, air conditioning, and washing machines. Moreover, due to its stable performance, it’s ideal for use in high-power industrial controls. It can also be used as sensitive equipment such as power distribution control, testing apparatus, and multifunction analyzers.

Working Principle

The working principle of a rotary switch is quite simple. It consists of a dial, a spindle, and two sets of springs. The rotary switch is connected to a circuit. When the user rotates the dial, the spindle moves in relation to the two sets of springs which helps to break and reconnect the current flowing through the circuit. The two sets of springs hold the contacts in their respective positions when the rotary switch is not in use. This maintains the connection even when the user moves the dial or spindle in either direction.

Rotary switches are an essential component of many electrical circuits, and they have many advantages over other types of switches. They provide reliable switching with good isolation, low resistance, and high current-carrying capacity. They are easy to install and maintain. And they are also reliable and durable, which is important in any application.
