59HS18-04B20S

Rotary switches are a type of electrical switch that allow the user to select different options based on the number of positions they can rotate to. The 59HS18-04B20S is an example of such a switch and is used to provide input or control signals in various applications.

The 59HS18-04B20S rotary switch provides a constantly changing input or control signal in four positions. The internal construction of the switch consists of a rotating contact point that is aligned with four stationary contact points. As the switch is rotated from one position to the next, the contact point touches the respective stationary contact point and makes the connection to provide the desired signal.

The 59HS18-04B20S is designed for use in a variety of applications where a constant changing signal is required. These applications range from industrial control panels to audio mixers. Industrially, the switch can be used as a control signal to operate and configure a variety of industrial equipment and machines. In audio mixers, the switch can be used to adjust the volume, treble and bass levels.

The working principle of the switch is quite simple. As the switch is manually rotated, an internal contact point is moved to make contact with the respective stationary contact point to form a connection. As the switch is rotated, the contact point is moved to make contact with a different contact point which results in a different signal being provided.

The 59HS18-04B20S rotary switch provides a cost effective, robust solution to many signal switching applications. It is easy to use, highly reliable and offers an extended life. Furthermore, the switch has been designed with safety in mind, as it cannot be operated accidentally.
