59HS18-05-1-16S Datasheet/PDFRotary Switches
Rotary switches are used to control power circuits and complete electrical connection. They are small and durable, allowing them to be used in a wide variety of applications. The most common type of rotary switch is the 59HS18-05-1-16S, which is used to provide up to 16 different circuits.
59HS18-05-1-16S Application Field
The 59HS18-05-1-16S rotary switch is mostly used for power distribution, signal control and load switch. It has a small profile, and it can handle various current loads in its application. In addition, its armature contact is a high-quality silver alloy, which ensures greater arc strength and more reliable performance. Also, it is not easily deformed, making it well-suited for vibration-sensitive environments.
59HS18-05-1-16S Working Principle
The 59HS18-05-1-16S switch works by using its dedicated cam drive mechanism. The mechanism itself is composed of two main components, the cam and the armature. The cam is rigidly connected to the rotary part of the switch, and it is responsible for turning the armature when the switch is moved. The armature is connected to a multi-contact switch, which is the actual electrical contact point. Whenever the switch is rotated, the cam allows the armature to move freely and the electrical contact points are activated.
The 59HS18-05-1-16S rotary switch is a reliable and robust device that can be used for various applications. It is highly resistant to dust, dirt, and liquids, making it ideal for industrial and commercial use. In addition, its high current capabilities make it a great choice for high-current applications.
