Rotary Switches are electrical switches with a rotating spindle and multiple electrical contacts, most commonly known within the family of multi-pole switches. By rotating the spindle a particular pole will be connected to the output point, thus turning on its associated load. A variety of rotary switch designs are available from a few positions, such as a rotary switch with only 2 positions, 3 position, 4 position, 8 position, etc. Different types of rotor options are available too which make the switch suitable for various applications, of which the D5G0108S rotary switch is a great example.

The D5G0108S rotary switch is a small, compact, non-shorting device configured with 8 positions and 1 pole (1CL) rating. It has two connections when used in a momentary position, meaning when it energizes it will open one connection and when no longer supplied with electricity it will automatically return to the off position. This switch can be used to select between multiple resistors, resistive networks, or motors and pumps. It is suitable for many applications such as automotive, agricultural, industrial, military, and alternate energy.

The D5G0108S rotary switch features a snap-in installation design, which allows for easy installation and replaceable knobs, making it a much easier affair for panel mounting or housing in a small space. Its terminals are also field replaceable, and its contact block is interchangeable between 16-position and 20-position designs. Furthermore, the switch is UL and CSA approved and rated up to 15A 250V AC. Its design also ensures reliable and repeatable performance, making the switch suitable for a multitude of applications.

The working principle of the rotary switch is rather simple. It makes use of a rotating spindle called a wafer which is attached to a stationary contact block. This contact block is composed of many points of contact with various positions that correspond to the different poles and positions of the switch. As the wafer is rotated, the contacts inside of the contact block change in position and come into contact with one of the available output connections.

This allows the switch to pass electrical current from one connection to the other, and when the switch is placed in the off position, the rotor opens up a gap in the contact block that breaks the connection. Thus, by rotating the spindle of a rotary switch, it is possible to connect or electrically break between multiple sets of electrical contacts. This principle of operation is the same regardless of the number of poles and positions that the rotary switch is configured with.

In conclusion, the D5G0108S rotary switch is a highly versatile and reliable device that can be used for a variety of applications and different types of electronic circuits. Its snap-in installation design and interchangeable knobs made it even more useful and user friendly, allowing for easy mounting, installation, and replacement. The working principle of this switch is also simple and straightforward, making it a reliable and dependable form of electrical switch.
