Rotary Switches

Rotary switches are electromechanical switching devices that have multiple positions. These devices are usually activated by rotating a control knobs and usually have an accompanying detent mechanism. One variant, the 53MS15-04B24S, is available in many different configurations.

53MS15-04B24S Application Field

The 53MS15-04B24S is popularly used in devices such as electronical instruments, medical equipment and aerospace components. It is suitable for devices demanding reliable switching and control. The comprehensive range includes both horizontal and vertical layouts and is available with mounting in DIN 246 sizes 1 to 6 and momentary/alternate action.

53MS15-04B24S Working Principle

The 53MS15-04B24S rotary switch has a stationary contact and a rotary contact, which are located in the same circular movement and turn with the knob. The stationary contact of the switch has a number of apertures arranged in a circle, and when the knob is rotated, the rotary contact will make contact with the stationery contact to enable or disable the flow of current.

The 53MS15-04B24S rotary switch is equipped with a detent mechanism that increases the control accuracy and life expectancy of the switch. This mechanism will also help to keep the switch in the desired position for long periods of time, making it suitable for medical applications, laboratory instruments and robotics.

The 53MS15-04B24S rotary switch is designed to be securely mounted and easy to use. The solid-state components employed in its construction make it reliable, and the sealed design makes it suitable for harsh environments. As this switch can be configured for momentary, alternate action and continuous signal action, it makes it suitable for applications such as industrial control, data entry systems and home appliances.

The 53MS15-04B24S rotary switches have proven themselves to be one of the best and most reliable switching solutions. The combination of switching duration and reliability have seen the switch employed in many different industries and its continuing success speaks to its wide range of applications.
