Rotary switches are popular components in many electronic components and are particularly useful when a user wants to either select or turn on and off a variety of different inputs in a system. The 71BF36-03-2-05S is one example of a rotary switch. By understanding the construction and application field of this rotary switch, engineers and technicians can capitalize on its strengths and use it appropriately.

Construction and Features

The 71BF36-03-2-05S is a single pole double throw rotary switch. It has a built-in “bias” feature, so that when it is turned it hits the two inner pins and stays locked in place. This locks the switch in either the on or off position, depending on how it is turned. There are two tone markers on the body of the switch that show the user the direction of the on/off positions. The mounting openings or mounting screws have 4.2 millimeters of space, which makes them easy to mount on panels or circuit boards.

The switch body itself is made from a thermoplastic polymer called Polytal. This makes the component extremely tough and impact resistant. Its construction also helps prevent any EMI (electro-magnetic interference) emissions. This makes the switch ideal for use in data application and computer systems that require strong electromagnetic shielding.

Working Principle

The 71BF36-03-2-05S works by taking advantage of a simple but powerful principle: when voltage is sent to one of the two output pins, the switch will turn and hit the other pin, allowing the flow of electricity to continue. This principle is called latching, and is often used in switches for critical applications where reliability is key. The switch will continue in the same state even when the voltage is turned off.

The switch utilizes a spring-loaded mechanism to push the movable contact point back to its staggered state when needed. This ensures the switch returns to the center position, often referred to as the neutral position. This helps to ensure that the switch remains in the correct state and no power is wasted or misdirected.

Application Field

The 71BF36-03-2-05S is primarily used as a selector switch in large industrial setups and processes. The large selection of output options makes it ideal for applications where multiple different inputs and outputs need to be switched alternately. This makes it perfect for applications such as data centers, where it can be used to switch between different sets of inputs in order to select the desired output.

The 71BF36-03-2-05S is also used in medical applications, for applications such as switching between different devices. Its EMI shielding capabilities make it ideal for such applications. Additionally, its simple latching operation makes it suitable for critical applications; for example, it is often used in MRI scanners as a safety switch.

Conclusion

The 71BF36-03-2-05S is an extremely versatile rotary switch with a multitude of uses. Its robust construction and the built-in latching feature makes it suitable for a variety of applications, ranging from industrial settings to medical environments. By understanding the construction and application field of this rotary switch, engineers and technicians can capitalize on its strengths and use it appropriately.
