71B36-02-1-03S

A rotary switch is a switch with a rotating actuator mechanism that operates a set of electrical contacts. Commonly referred to as selector switches, these devices are designed for applications where multiple sets of electrical contacts must be operated simultaneously, or where multiple circuits must be switched on or off.Rotary switches have been in production for many years, and their design and function have remained largely unchanged. They generally consist of a contact wheel, a contact plate, a core and a retainer, but the number and design of these components may vary depending on the application requirements. The 71B36-02-1-03S is a type of rotary switch that is designed for use in industrial applications, as well as in automotive and military applications.

The key features of the 71B36-02-1-03S include an electrical rating of up to 16A at 250VAC, UL94V-0 contact protection, and a 6 or 8-point indexing. The switch is UL 508 certified and is operated by a stainless steel shaft with a push-on/push-off button. The body is made of die-cast aluminum and the contacts are gold-plated copper. This configuration gives the device excellent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for industrial applications.

The working principle of the 71B36-02-1-03S is based on a contact wheel rotary switch design. When the switch is rotated, the contact wheel rotates as well. As the wheel rotates, it makes contact with the contact plate, which is made of either fine wire or brass. When the contact wheel makes contact with the contact plate, a signal is sent to the control circuit. Depending on the application, the control signal can either turn on or turn off the circuit.

The 71B36-02-1-03S rotary switch is a reliable, high-performance device that provides a cost-effective solution for industrial, automotive and military applications. Its robust design provides excellent repeatability, ensuring reliable operation in harsh environments. Its excellent corrosion resistance makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, including military, aviation, aerospace and automotive applications. With its superior performance and long service life, the 71B36-02-1-03S rotary switch is an ideal choice for a variety of applications.
