Rotary Switches

A rotary switch is a switch that has a rotating contact, typically a circular knob connected to a spindle. It is usually used to allow the selection of one or more positions in an electrical or electronic circuit, or switch between multiple audio signals.

The 55A36-01-2-04N is an example of a rotary switch and is used in a variety of applications. In general, this switch is used for general-purpose applications such as switches for machines, panel mounted switches and indicator panels, telephone switching systems, and lighting control systems, among many other uses.

Application Field

The 55A36-01-2-04N rotary switch is primarily used for controlling electrical circuits, mainly for low voltage control. This switch can be used to switch mains circuits as well as low voltage circuits, depending on the current rating of the switch. The switch can be used as a selector, an access keypad, a safety switch, and a speed controller, among other applications. Additionally, the rotary switch can be used in a wide range of industries, including automotive, home appliances, computers, industrial controls, automobiles, and telecommunication equipment.

Working Principle

The working principle of the 55A36-01-2-04N rotary switch is relatively simple. The switch is made of a housing in which a number of rotatable contact segments are present. When two or more contacts are in contact with each other, an electrical circuit is completed and current flows. The contacts are then said to be in the "on" position. When the knob of the rotary switch is rotated, the contacts move away from each other, thus breaking the electrical circuit and current ceases to flow. This is referred to as the "off" position.

The switch is equipped with two main operating modes. In the first mode, the knob of the switch is turned to position the contacts in either the "on" or "off" positions. The second mode is designed to allow the switch to automatically switch between the "on" and "off" positions. This mode is also referred to as a "self-reset" mode.

The 55A36-01-2-04N rotary switch is extremely versatile and robust, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. This switch can handle a variety of currents and is designed to give many years of reliable service in general-purpose applications. The switch is also designed to be easy to use and allow quick and accurate selection of various connection settings.
