711-11 Application Field and Working Principle

Rotary switches, particularly the 711-11, are well-recognized and oft-utilized components in electromechanical and electronic circuit designs. This switch, a spring-loaded rotary comb knob, is a type of manual transfer switch that can be used to choose between two or more circuit paths with a predetermined number of poles and throws. Moreover, the 711-11 can be used in a wide range of applications, including industrial, telecommunications, and automobile wiring systems. In this article, we provide a comprehensive overview of the application field and working principle of the 711-11 rotary switch.

Applications

The 711-11 rotary switch is used in a range of applications. It is available with many mount and actuator options, including surface, panel, and enclosure mount, as well as with and without an indication movement. This versatility means that these switches can be used in a variety of configurations and both indoor and outdoor applications.

In terms of industrial wiring, these switches are ideal for managing several current levels and circuit routes and provide off-on capability, allowing machines to be powered up or down. Positioning and alignment of the 711-11 switch is critical to the successful operation of the machine. The switch acts as an electronic controller and can be used to control a variety of automated functions within industrial, electrical, and hydraulic systems.

The 711-11 switch is also common in the telecommunications and radio networks, as it offers consistent performance and reliable switching, as well as being relatively inexpensive to use and maintain. Its high-voltage capabilities, mechanical life, and ability to withstand harsh conditions make this switch ideal for circuit switching in communication devices, radio receivers, and wiring systems in merchant vessels.

Automotive wiring systems are another frequent application for the 711-11. Its robust design and low-mass contacts make it suitable for a wide range of applications, from the simple manipulation of current levels in wiring to the control of multiple circuit functions within radiators, headlights, and other automotive equipment. It can also be used to manage current levels amongst various models of automobiles.

Working Principle

The core of a 711-11 rotary switch is the switch body, a hollow cylindrical body containing two sets of terminals that form ‘poles’ and ‘throws’ when used in conjunction with a switch actuator. Depending on the number of poles and throws the switch body has, one or more switches can be constructed. When the switch is turned with its actuator knob, the terminals make and break the electrical connection. This type of switch is usually connected with a spring that exerts pressure on the terminals in the switch body, creating an electrical connection.

The 711-11 is configured in a few basic types of device. Firstly, it can be used as a series switch, in which it connects the circuit from one point to another. In this case, the electricity passes through all of the switch’s terminals before reappearing. Alternatively, the switch can be used as a parallel switch which does not connect the circuit from one point to another. Rather, it connects the same point on a circuit to different points in parallel, allowing the current to flow into separate branches.

It is also possible to use the 711-11 as a combined series-parallel switch. This switches the current flow between series and parallel connections and allows the circuit to receive power from two sources. In this case, the two sets of terminals act independently, enabling more extensive circuit configurations.

The 711-11 rotary switch is an incredibly flexible electronic switching device that can be used in a wide range of applications. With its multiple poles and throws configurations and high-voltage capacities, this switch is able to provide a reliable, stable switching experience for countless application needs.
