Rotary Switches

Rotary switches are electrical switches with rotating, circular parts that make electrical contact when the knob is turned. They are typically used to select one option, such as an ON/OFF switch, or to change the settings on a machine or device. They are sometimes known as rotary encoders, rotary selectors, or rotary dials.

51P30-01-1-11S Application Field and Working Principle

The 51P30-01-1-11S rotary switch is an advanced high-power switching option with a compact design. It is designed for applications where space may be at a premium, such as high-power circuit breakers, motor controls, and actuators. This switch is rated for up to 15A at 250VAC and incorporates a positive, positive-detented positioning system.

The operating principle behind the51P30-01-1-11S rotary switch is relatively simple. When the knob is turned to the specific position, the contacts inside the switch electrically connect and allow current tom flow through the circuit. When the knob is moved back to the beginning position, the contacts break and the circuit is disconnected. This happens without fail as long as the switch is rated for the correct voltage and amperage.

The 51P30-01-1-11S rotary switch is also designed to last. It features double break contacts with silver-plated copper contact discs for superior switching performance and extended life. This switch also comes with a dust seal and gasket to provide a tight seal against dust, water, and other contaminants.

The 51P30-01-1-11S rotary switch is designed for versatile applications where space is limited. It can be used for a wide range of applications, including high-power circuit breakers, motor controls, and actuators. It is a reliable, high-power switch that offers dependable performance, excellent switching characteristics, and a compact design.
