56SDP36S-01-2-AJS

Rotary switches are mechanical electrical switches that allow a user to select one of several possible positions in a single pin device. The 56SDP36S-01-2-AJS is a single-pole (SP) dual throw (DT) rotary switch. It is typically used as a selector switch in applications such as audio equipment, panel light switching, and electronic instrumentation.

The 56SDP36S-01-2-AJS, housing the SPDT switch, is a subcompact switch suitable for applications where space is at a premium. It allows for one connection to pass power between two independent circuits for a total of four switch poles. The 56SDP36S-01-2-AJS\'s rotor is designed with two pairs of detents, one for each of the two circuits it connects. Each detent is held in place by two coil springs.

When the 56SDP36S-01-2-AJS is in the Off position, there is no power passing between the two circuits. When it is in either of the On positions, it will allow power to flow between the two circuits and the actuator will remain in place without the need for an additional connection. The 56SDP36S-01-2-AJS is quite robust and can tolerate certain shock and vibration levels.

The 56SDP36S-01-2-AJS rotary switches are typically found in audio applications where they are used to control the level of sound passing through the system. They are also used to switch between input and output signals in electronic instrumentation. In lighting applications, the 56SDP36S-01-2-AJS is used to switch between the dimmer levels of a panel light or the color of a lightbulb. In communication applications, 56SDP36S-01-2-AJS rotary switches are used to select between different frequency ranges.

The 56SDP36S-01-2-AJS works by having two different switching circuits, each connected to the main circuit. A magnetic actuator is placed between these two circuits and will move back and forth between the two circuits when rotated. When the actuator is in one of its two positions, a miniature contact is made from one of the two circuits to the main circuit, thus allowing current to travel. Depending on the position of the switch, power can be transferred from one of the two circuits to the main line.

The 56SDP36S-01-2-AJS is a highly reliable and versatile rotary switch that can be used in a variety of applications. It is easy to install and offers a simple solution to the user when requiring to switch between two different circuits. The 56SDP36S-01-2-AJS rotary switch is robust and can handle certain shock and vibration levels, ensuring reliability in a wide range of applications.
