71C301110N-1112NF

Rotary switches are essential components in many electronics projects. The 71C301110N- 1112NF rotary switch, measuring 12 x 12 x 6mm, is an on-off switch with an excellent performance-to-size ratio. It has a contact resistance of 20 milliohms, a disconnection voltage of 150 VAC, and a rated current of 1 A. Further, it is moisture- and dust-resistant, making it suitable for multiple environmental conditions.

71C301110N-1112NF, is a 3-pole, 6-position rotary switch. It features a common rotary switch and two independent switched contacts, also referred to as a break before make switch. This type of switch enables the user to easily switch from one configuration to another without the risk of a short circuit. The operating temperature range for this switch is -20 to +50 degrees Celsius.

The 71C301110N-1112NF’s typical application field is in AC power sources such as lighting and electronic dimmers. These switches can be used for controlling or switching the power on JBL audio amplifiers, which require rotary switches. Additionally, this type of switch can also be found in medical applications in which multiple connections have to be managed quickly.

The working principle of a rotary switch is based on the movement of a movable contact between two fixed contacts that it connects to, thereby establishing or broken the electric circuit. When the user rotates the switch to the desired setting, a cam connected to the rotary handle forces the movable contact to move between two fixed contacts. This action creates a temporary connection which, when opened, breaks the existing connection.

The 71C301110N-1112NF rotary switch was designed to offer the user the ultimate in switching capability, providing the user with switch stability, reliable operation, and a wide variety of applications. Thanks to its robust design and superior performance, this switch is suitable for a range of situations, from industrial to office applications.
