Rotary Switches

A rotary switch is a switch in which the contacts are changed when the rotation shaft is actuated by the user. The 51MPT30-01B12S is a type of rotary switch that is equipped with a 12-pole system. This switch is specifically designed for applications that include industrial control equipment, medical equipment and consumer electronic products.

Advantages

The 51MPT30-01B12S offers a number of adantages over traditional rotary switches. Firstly, the 51MPT30-01B12S improves contact stability by using a cam-type actuation mechanism. Additionally, the switch design prevents contact bounce and chatter, which are common in traditional rotary switches. The 51MPT30-01B12S also features a durable body that is made of polyester plastic.

Applications and Working Principle

The 51MPT30-01B12S is designed for applications that require reliable operation in various conditions. One example is HMI devices, where the switch offers the user with tactile feedback when rotating. The switch lever is suitable for industrial control panels and medical equipment.

The switch works on a simple principle. When the switch lever is actuated, it positions the contact plates inside the switch box and makes the required electrical connection. The cams on the contact plates open and close the circuit when they rotate, thus connecting or disconnecting the circuit. The cams are designed to make the contact plates move in sync with the switch lever, thus providing user feedback.

Conclusion

The 51MPT30-01B12S rotary switch is a reliable solution for applications such as industrial control panels, medical equipment, and consumer electronic products. With a durable body and reliable contact stability, the 51MPT30-01B12S ensures reliable operation in various conditions. The switch lever also features a tactile feedback mechanism for user convenience.
