Rotary Switches

A rotary switch is an electrical switch in which the contacts are arranged in a circular rotor that is rotatable with respect to the stator contacts. When the rotor is turned, the electrical contacts arc across and make the circuit or break the circuit. Rotary switches are generally used in applications requiring a large number of switching positions and are usually not used for very high precision or low power signals due to size and contact wear constraints.

51KMBT30-01B12N Application Field and Working Principle

The 51KMBT30-01B12N is a general-purpose rotary switch which can be used in a wide range of applications. It is suitable for use in alarm systems, consumer electrics, automotive, life science and other related fields. One of its main advantages is its ability to switch multiple contacts in a single rotary motion. This gives it an added versatility compared to other types of switches.

The 51KMBT30-01B12N rotary switch consists of a rotating contact arm with a series of multiple contact points on its underside. When the arm is rotated in either direction, the contact points are energized and create a circuit which can be used to control various electrical components. The contacts are usually made from silver or gold, and the arm can be rotated with either a manual twist or a motorized movement.

The 51KMBT30-01B12N rotary switch is designed so that the contact points can be set in various positions. This makes it ideal for controlling multiple circuits or multiple devices with one single switch. The user can set the switch to the desired position, and when power is supplied to the switch, the contact points will be energized and the circuit will be completed.

The 51KMBT30-01B12N rotary switch is also designed with a built in safety feature. If the arm is moved too quickly, it will trip the safety switch and shut off the power to prevent any potential damage to the electrical circuit.

In summary, the 51KMBT30-01B12N rotary switch is a versatile and reliable switch for use in many applications. It is designed to switch multiple contacts in a single motion and can be used to control multiple circuits or multiple devices. It also features a safety switch which will shut off the power if the switch is moved too quickly.
