Rotary Switches

Rotary switches are important switch components widely used in electronic and electrical circuits. Generally speaking, rotary switches are a type of control switch used to select between multiple positions in a circuit. When rotated, the switch provides different electrical outputs and can also be used as a means of connecting two signals, in other words, it is a device designed to allow a current to pass through a circuit. The most common type of rotary switch is the multi-pole multi-position switch, a device suitable for many different applications.

This article will focus on 71BF36-08-2-02N rotary switch, a multi-pole multi-position switch, which is widely used in the industry, and provide an overview of its application field and working principle.

Application Field and Potential Markets

71BF36-08-2-02N rotary switches are suitable for a variety of applications and can be found in different industries, such as consumer electronics, industrial, military and aerospace applications. They are also used in automotive systems, instrumentation and measurement systems, medical devices and test equipment.

The 71BF36-08-2-02N rotary switches are designed for relatively high current, with their potential customers being in the market for a high reliability switch with UL and CSA approvals. They are designed for applications such as power management, controlling power supplies, so they are also suitable for high-end, high-power applications, such as switching surge currents, motor and transformer control.

Working Principle

The 71BF36-08-2-02N rotary switch works in a unique way. It consists of a metal shaft with a specific number of pins, typically four or five, and a metal contact surface. When the shaft is rotated, the pins move up or down, depending on which direction you rotate the shaft. As the pins “step” up or down, they make contact with the metal contact surface, which creates a “switched” circuit.

The way this provides a varied output is by the use of a set of movable “carriers”. The carriers are connected to the contact surface, and are able to move in order to make contact with different pins that are positioned around the shaft. Changing the carrier positions will change the series of contacts created, and thus change the output of the switch.

The 71BF36-08-2-02N series of rotary switches allows for up to eight different positions on the device. This is achieved by having two separate “carriers”, which can move independently in order to make contact with different pins on the shaft. This means the device can provide a maximum of 16 electrical outputs.

Conclusion

The 71BF36-06-2-02N rotary switch provides a reliable, high current and cost-effective solution for many high-end, high-power applications. It is widely used in the industry, with potential markets covering consumer electronics, industrial, military and aerospace, automotive systems, instrumentation and measurement systems, medical devices and test equipment.

It works via a unique set of movable carriers connecting to a metal contact surface. These carriers are moved up and down the shaft to create different contact combinations and therefore, different outputs. The switch can provide up to 16 different switch positions when two independent carriers are used.
