71A30-01-1-08S

Rotary switches feature a circular spindle or "wafer" that, when rotated, establishes a connection between two contacts. They are terminally connected, meaning that all of the contacts are accessible easily from one side of the circuit board.

71A30-01-1-08S is a simple but efficient example of a rotary switch. It is capable of connecting up to eight different circuits, and can be arranged for On/Off control or for use as a single pole, double throw switch. The switch is operated directly from the spindle, which can be manually turned by a thumb turn or other device. The small plastic lug on the spindle is used to lock the switch in the off position. Furthermore, the plunger terminals provide visual indication of the switch status.

The working principle of the 71A30-01-1-08S rotary switches is quite straightforward. As the spindle is rotated, the contacts are transferred from one position to the next. The switch is designed to ensure that the contacts are always in the correct state when the switch is at rest. This design eliminates the possibility of accidental contact with the wrong circuit and provides a very reliable low-cost solution.

The 71A30-01-1-08S rotary switches offer a number of advantages over other kinds of switches and circuit components. They are highly reliable and durable, and require minimal maintenance. They are also relatively inexpensive and can be used for applications where space is limited. Furthermore, due to their simple design, rotary switches are easy to repair and require minimal technical knowledge to do so. Lastly, the use of these switches eliminates the need for more complicated and expensive circuitry, such as integrated circuits.

Rotary switches have a broad range of application areas, including test and research facilities, instrumentation, lighting control, and audio/video applications. In test and research facilities, rotary switches are used to control and monitor functionst including voltage, current, and temperature. In instrumentation applications, they may be used to switch between different frequencies or measuring instruments. In lighting control applications, they are used to switch between different lights levels or to regulate fan speed. In audio/video applications, they are used to switch between input and output sources or to adjust settings such as bass and treble levels.

The 71A30-01-1-08S rotary switches can also be used in other types of applications. They can be used in industrial manufacturing equipment for controlling motors and other moving parts. In addition, they can be used in medical devices, to regulate the speed of electric wheelchairs and other mobility aids. And in automotive applications, they can be used to control ignition timing, fuel injection systems, and more.

Overall, 71A30-01-1-08S rotary switches are an ideal choice for a variety of applications. Their simple yet reliable design and easy maintenance make them a great choice for those seeking a cost-effective and reliable solution to their electrical needs. Whether used in a test facility or in an automotive application, these switches offer a reliable, low-cost solution for controlling a variety of circuits and devices.
