51S22-01-1-04S Application Field and Working Principle

Rotary switches are used in dozens of applications in the electronics and electrical engineering industrys. The 51S22-01-1-04S rotary switch is one of the most popular series available on the market.

The 51S22-01-1-04S is a 12-position rotary switch with two wafer and two terminals per wafer. It consists of a circular plastic plate and two aluminum contacts. Inside the plastic plate, there is a metal cam that is connected to shafts. With a few turns of the shaft, the metal cam move the contacts to different positions on the switch.

The rotary switch can be used in a variety of applications. It is typically used in audio systems, such as amplifiers and receivers, as a volume selector or tone control switch. It is also often used in electronics test and measurement systems, where it can be used to select various electrical signals. The switch can also be used in industrial control systems, such as controlling motors and pumps.

The 51S22-01-1-04S rotary switch is easy to use. To select the desired position, simply turn the shaft a certain number of turns. When the switch is in the desired position, the contacts on the switch are engaged and the corresponding electrical signal is sent through the terminals.

The 51S22-01-1-04S rotary switch is an excellent choice for applications requiring an easily adjustable switch that is reliable and has long life expectancy. With its low profile and ease of use, it is also one of the most economical rotary switches available on the market.
