71B30-02-2-06S

Rotary switches are used to control electric circuits, whether it be residential, commercial, or industrial. The type of switch, or contact configuration, will determine what type of circuit it can be used for. One example of a rotary switch is the 71B30-02-2-06S contact configuration.

Features

The 71B30-02-2-06S contact configuration is a 4-pole, double-break, 6-position switch. This means that each position has two sets of contacts and the contact configuration allows for two separate circuits to occur, one for each set of contacts. It is designed for a maximum current rating of 16A and a maximum voltage rating of 250V. Additionally, it requires a panel cutout that is 30mm in diameter, and comes with a bezel fitting to secure it in place in the panel.

Applications

The 71B30-02-2-06S contact configuration is used in a variety of applications due to its two-circuit contact configuration. It is most commonly used to switch two circuits on or off at the same time. It is also used to change the settings in a circuit, such as polarity control or current settings, or to select different functions. It can be used in a variety of settings such as power control, motor speed control, and lighting control.

Working Principle

The 71B30-02-2-06S contact configuration works by having two separate rotating switch shafts that each contain two contacts. When the shaft is rotated, the contacts make and break the connection between the two circuits. With each rotation of the shaft, the contacts make and break the connection in alternating patterns. This ensures that the connection is maintained correctly, and prevents electrical shorts from occurring.

Another important feature of this rotary switch is its robust steel body that ensures its durability. This ensures that the switch can not be easily broken or damaged, which is an important feature in industrial settings.

Conclusion

The 71B30-02-2-06S contact configuration is a versatile rotary switch that is used in multiple applications due to its two-circuit contact configuration. Its robust steel construction also makes it a reliable and durable switch. With its robust steel body, the 71B30-02-2-06S is perfect for industrial settings and can withstand the rigors of high-volume use. The 71B30-02-2-06S is a great choice for those who need to control two circuits, or those who need to switch between different functions of a circuit.
