Rotary switches are an important type of electrical switch in which the contacts rotate between a set of contact points. They are very common in consumer applications, such as volume and temperature control, as well as in industrial applications, such as controlling motors, lighting, and other large electrical loads. The 51CPT30-01B08N is a rotary switch designed specifically for low-voltage and low-power applications. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of the 51CPT30-01B08N.

Application Field

The 51CPT30-01B08N is an 8 pole, 30 degree, miniature rotary switch. It is designed for direct mounting in any PCB with a standard 2.54mm mount and is suitable for use in many different applications. It is UL approved for use in home appliances and is also RoHS compliant for use in any low-voltage and low-power application. Additionally, it is rated for up to 2.5A of current and 250V of voltage. Its durable construction makes it a great choice for any application in which more rugged switches are needed.

Working Principle

The 51CPT30-01B08N has a simple working principle. When the knob of the switch is rotated, the contact points rotate along with it and make contact with the stationary contacts. This activates a circuit and allows current to flow through the switch. The rotary switch is designed so that the contact points make contact with the stationary contacts in a specific order and can be used to create multiple configurations of the circuit, depending on how the rotary switch is positioned.

The 51CPT30-01B08N is equipped with a locking lever, which provides an additional level of safety by preventing the switch from being accidentally changed or activated. The locking lever can be disengaged by pushing down on it, allowing the switch to be activated as necessary. Additionally, the switch is designed to prevent any arcing or sparking when making contact with the stationary contacts.

Conclusion

The 51CPT30-01B08N is a miniature rotary switch designed specifically for low-voltage and low-power applications. It is UL approved and RoHS compliant and is rated for up to 2.5A of current and 250V of voltage. The working principle of the 51CPT30-01B08N is simple: when the knob of the switch is rotated, the contact points rotate along with it and make contact with the stationary contacts. This activates the circuit and allows current to flow. The 51CPT30-01B08N is a great choice for any application in which more rugged switches are needed.
