Rotary Switches

The D8G0117N, also known as a rotary switch, is a type of electromechanical on/off switch with a rotating contact arm that can be set to a number of positions. The number of positions refers to the rotational positions of the contact arm and determines the number of switchable states. The D8G0117N is usually used to control or activate circuits, or be used in motor starters, variable speed drives and various testing equipments.

Applications

The D8G0117N rotary switch is most commonly used as a selector switch in audio/visual equipment, including CD/DVD players, stereos, televisions, digital cameras and camcorders. It is also used to control or activate circuits in digital instruments, including circuit breakers, doorbells, knobs and thermostats.

The D8G0117N is also used to control the speed of a motor or the voltage of an electric motor. It provides an alternative to a potentiometer, where the speed or voltage of the motor can be precisely and accurately controlled. It has also found its way into industrial applications, such as controlling the pressure and temperature in pumps, boilers, and turbines.

Working Principle

The rotary switch consists of two parts, a stator and a rotor. The stator is the stationary part of the switch and is usually made from a plastic or metallic material. The rotor is the part that rotates and is made of a material that is non-conductive, such as aluminum or brass.

As the rotor is rotated, its contact arms line up with the points of the stationary stator. This enables the current to flow from the stator to the rotor and thereby complete the desired circuits. Depending on the type of switch, the number of circuits that can be completed will vary.

The D8G0117N uses a two pole switch assembly with four positions, allowing it to make two circuits with up to four different positions. The two poles of the switch are created by two different switch plates, which are activated by a single rotation of the rotor. When the switch is set to the desired position, the poles will interact with the two switchplates to complete the two separate circuits.

Advantages

The rotary switch is a reliable, rugged, and inexpensive device that is easy to install and operate. It is also resistant to vibration and high temperatures, making it ideal for use in industrial, automotive or other high-performance applications.

The D8G0117N is also a great choice for applications that require precise and accurate contact control. Its ability to rotate the rotor in precise increments ensures that the correct current flow is maintained. Additionally, the switch is also designed to limit contact wear and tear, which reduces the need for replacements or repairs.

Disadvantages

The D8G0117N rotary switch is limited to two circuits, which can be a disadvantage for applications that require more circuits to be activated or controlled.

Additionally, the switch contacts are not sealed, which can lead to water or dust ingress and premature failure. Finally, because the switch is spring-loaded, it may be difficult to turn if not properly lubricated.
