Rotary switches are a type of electromechanical switch symbolizing a rotatory actuator that makes or breaks electrical connections as the user rotates the actuator. Designed for durable and reliable operations, rotary switches come in various types that serve various functions, including on-off switch, single pole switch and double pole switches. 53M15-02-1-16S is a rotary switch of 16-position step, which is the most common type of rotary switch. 

The primary application of 53M15-02-1-16S rotary switch is to control the direction and speed of a motor or other mechanical system. It can also be used in a variety of electronic circuits, including audio equipment, DC power supplies and amplifiers. Generally, this type of switch is also used to control the flow of power in a variety of equipment, such as washing machines, power tools and vending machines.

Having solid contacts, the 53M15-02-1-16S rotary switch is composed of a spring-loaded plastic actuator and a rotating cam plate that provides a variety of contact combinations and positions. When the switch is activated, each contact designates a location for the actuator to make contact. At each contact position, a circuit is closed or opened depending on its design.

The 53M15-02-1-16S rotary switch is suitable for applications with supply voltage of AC 250V or DC 60V, and mainly it can support up to 5A load current; it has a defined life ranging up to 10,000 operations and contact resistance up to 50 mΩ. This type of switch is designed to withstand wear and tear, vibration and shock caused by industrial applications while providing reliable and durable performance in the long term.

The working principle of the 53M15-02-1-16S rotary switch is simple. When the actuator is manually operated, it turns a mechanical cam. A metal lobe (or fingers) on the cam meshes with metal contacts on the cam plate, which can be designed to close or open the circuit at each contact position of the switch. With each turn of the actuator, the metal lobe cycles through the contact positions and the switch provides multiple switching operations.

Due to its small size and long lifespan, the 53M15-02-1-16S rotary switch is highly reliable and suitable for applications in a wide variety of industries, such as telecommunications, industrial control, auto-control, electronic toys and instrumentation. It can transmit signals under high frequency, low noise conditions, and due to its contact style, it can form several connection patterns.
