Rotary switches consist of multiple circular contact discs, each disc offering up to ten, twelve, or sixteen positions. By rotating the discs, the contacts can be sequentially connected to one another, providing a near-limitless number of switch combinations from a minimal number of parts. With the flexibility of rotary switches, they are a great solution for automotive, consumer electronics, and industrial control applications.

A30315RNZQE

A30315RNZQE is a 15A Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) rotary switch. With a contact rating of 15A at 277VAC, this switch is perfect for consumer applications using control boxes, fans, and motors. It has three positional rotation, making it very versatile and able to accommodate a range of switch combinations to meet your needs.

Application Field

Primarily, A30315RNZQE is used in consumer appliances and general industrial controls. This particular device can be found in air conditioners, refrigerators, vacuum cleaners, and small electric motors. In the industrial world, these switches are used to control the flow of voltage in pumps, motors, and fans. It is also a preferred solution for controlling the speed of motors in electric vehicles.

Working Principle

This rotary switch relies on disc-shaped contacts, each positioned inside the switch housing. As the knob that controls the switch is rotated, the contact disc slides one way or the other, connecting the appropriate contacts. When one direction is selected on the switch, it momentarily breaks the circuit, and when the other direction is selected, it closes the circuit. This sequential action occurs in three positions and is repeated when the switch is rotated in the opposite direction.

Conclusion

The A30315RNZQE is a great rotary switch for high power applications. It provides flexibility in switch combinations, making it compatible with a wide range of consumer electronics and industrial applications. Its 15A contact rating ensures reliable performance and its three positional rotation ensures accurate and safe cycling between switch functions.
