71AD36-01-2-AJN

Rotary switches use a circular arrangement of electrical contacts connected to a rotating actuator. When the actuator is rotated, contact is made with different contacts. The 71AD36-01-2-AJN is a robust and reliable rotary switch, designed to provide a comprehensive suite of features and functions while still being well-suited for a wide variety of applications.

One of the major benefits of using a rotary switch is that the user has the ability to select multiple electrical circuits. By rotating the switch, a single electrical contact may be made with several available contacts, which allows the user to toggle between different states. By taking advantage of three-position, four-position, or five-position switches, multiple circuit configurations can be achieved. The 71AD36-01-2-AJN is capable of offering up to six-positions, providing further flexibility.

Rotary switches are single-pole, multi-throw devices, where the single-pole refers to the number of electrical common contacts and the multi-throw feature indicates the number of individual circuit-ways available. The 71AD36-01-2-AJN provides up to six separate throw contacts and two common contacts. By using several rotary switches, it is possible to wire different circuits simultaneously.

The 71AD36-01-2-AJN is a versatile switch, widely used in a variety of industrial, commercial and residential applications. In industrial applications, the switch is often used to manually control different machines or machine operations. It is typically used to automate processes, like controlling a line speed motor, supplying power to a motor turning it off and on, as well as controlling a motor\'s direction of rotation. Other common uses of the switch include controlling air conditioning or heating systems, controlling water heating, or controlling process equipment.

In residential applications, the rotary switch is often used to control lighting systems, ceiling fans, and security systems. It can be used to switch between different outlets or it can be used to toggle between two states, like turning on one light and turning off another. The 71AD36-01-2-AJN is also used to control appliances, like washers, dryers, dishwashers, and ovens.

The 71AD36-01-2-AJN is made up of four main components – the actuator, the housing, the switch contacts and the mounting bracket. The actuator is the part of the switch that is rotated, typically with a finger, to move between the switch contacts. The actuator is connected to the housing, which holds all of the other components in place. The switch contacts are the electrical components inside the housing that come into contact with each other as the actuator is rotated. The mounting bracket provides a means to attach the switch to surfaces in the desired application.

The working principle of the 71AD36-01-2-AJN rotary switch is quite simple. Each time the actuator is rotated, it contacts a different electrical contact within the switch housing, which in turn changes the flow of the electricity. By changing the arrangement of the electrical contacts or the position of the actuator, the flow of electricity can be redirected, thus allowing users to control multiple circuits.

Rotary switches, such as the 71AD36-01-2-AJN, are a valuable and efficient tool for controlling multiple circuits. They are an easy and cost-effective option for many applications, and offer precise and reliable control. With its robust and reliable design, the 71AD36-01-2-AJN can handle a variety of applications with ease.
