Rotary Switches

A rotary switch is a switch in which the contacts are changed when the rotor is turned in either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. They are commonly referred to as "knobs" because the user typically rotate a knob to operate the switch. This type of switch is typically used to select one signal from many alternatives. Rotary switches can have as few as two positions and as many as several thousand positions for more specialized applications.

71BSF30-05-2-04N is a type of rotary switch that is used for a wide variety of applications. It offers a range of contacts, including momentary, maintained, and latching, which makes it suitable for a wide range of uses. Through-hole and surface mount versions are available, which makes it a versatile choice for a range of applications.

Application Field

The 71BSF30-05-2-04N rotary switch is ideal for use in a wide range of applications such as industrial automation, control panels, vending machines, office equipment, and medical equipment. It is also suitable for use in automotive and transportation applications, allowing users to control a variety of functions with just a single rotating knob.

Working Principle

The 71BSF30-05-2-04N rotary switch is a mechanical device that operates using an electrical current. When electricity is passed through the switch, it creates a magnetic field that is used to actuate a series of electrical contacts. When the switch is rotated, the contacts are opened and closed, allowing the current to flow in different directions through the circuit. This type of switch is mostly used to enable the selection of one signal from multiple alternatives.

Rotary switches are typically used when a control system requires a certain level of precision, because they offer a more reliable and accurate response than other types of switches. They are also highly durable, making them a suitable option for a range of applications. This makes them a versatile and reliable choice for a range of uses.
