D5G0108S-R

Rotary Switches are an electromechanical device that consists of a circular dial or lever which can be turned to various positions to make and break electrical connections. The common application of rotary switches is to open and close circuits in electrical and electronic devices.

The model of rotary switch, D5G0108S-R, is a 8-position, 24-terminal switch suitable for various instrumentation applications. This switch consists of two sections – a rotary section and a possibility selector section. The total possible positions of this switch are 8, which can be easily identified by the numbers marked on each position on the rotary section. The selector key determines the number of possible engagements from the indicated positions and ensures a positive, repeatable connection between the engaged terminals. The possibility selector section of the switch has 24-terminals located around the circumference where each of the position corresponds to a different portion of the circumference.

The D5G0108S-R rotary switch is especially well suited for applications where there’s a need for greater flexibility and versatility. The fact that it is open, allows for user customization. This can be accomplished by the installation of a rotator, or a rotary section. With the addition of a rotator, the number of possible engagements can be increased beyond the set number that is marked on the switch itself. This makes the switch an ideal solution for applications where there are multiple selections or choices that can be made.

The working principle of the D5G0108S-R rotary switch is very simple. When the switch is turned, the contactor pin moves along a predetermined path, making contact with each terminal as it passes. This action creates an electrical connection point between each terminal. The selector key indicates which of the possible positions is engaged when the switch is turned. This enables the user to select multiple positions or functions from a single switch.

The D5G0108S-R rotary switch is particularly well suited for application fields such as motor controls, industrial time-delay relay, power drive switches, position sensing, and manual control. In each application field, the switch offers repeatability and reliability for a long time.

The D5G0108S-R rotary switch is an efficient, reliable and versatile switch whose applications range from simple on-off toggle switches to sophisticated industrial controls. It is a great choice for those who require a switch with multiple positions and repeatable action. The switch’s flexibility allows easy customization to meet specific requirements, making it an ideal choice for a variety of applications.
