Rotary Switches play an important role in modern electrical engineering. The HS13Z, a rotary switch from C&K components is one of the most popular rotary switches in the market. This article seeks to explain its application field, how it works and how it differs from other rotary switches.

Overview

The HS13Z is a low voltage, sub-miniature rotary switch. It offers a wide variety of choices to suit the needs of any industrial application. It is designed with an extended traveling piece that enables it to be installed in tight panel slots and helps it to achieve low-profile construction. The HS13Z has a variety of up to 13 selectable outputs and up to four positions. Its superior contact design, reinforced with a stainless-steel spring provides a longer-lasting life.

Application Fields

The HS13Z is an ideal choice for a variety of low voltage electrical switch applications. These include power supplies, automotive equipment, home appliances, and industrial devices. Its small size and durability make it an ideal choice for a host of industrial and consumer applications.

It is especially suitable for panel switching in tight spaces as its extended traveling piece allows for installation in narrow and hard to access areas. Furthermore, its low-profile design lets it fit into even the most confined of locations.

The HS13Z is also equipped with a stainless steel spring as part of its contact design which gives it superior temperature and corrosion resistance allowing it to operate with minimal degradation even in harsh environments. Additionally, it offers superior life—tested to over 10,000 cycles—making it a dependable switch choice.

Working Principle

The HS13Z is quite different from other rotary switches when it comes to its working principle. It is a single-throw switch, meaning that it interrupts a single circuit without any diversion to other circuits.

The HS13Z consists of a rotatable lever which is mechanically connected to a contact carrier. As the user rotates the lever, the carrier moves along with it. This movement activates a microswitch which either opens or closes the corresponding circuit and takes the device from one position to another.

The contact carrier includes a range of different contacts, meaning that all of them can be used to create a single-throw operation. This also means that the HS13Z is capable of activating multiple circuits depending on the position of the lever.

Conclusion

The HS13Z from C&K Components is a versatile rotary switch with a wide variety of applications and features. Its extended traveling piece allows it to fit into even the most tight of spaces and its superior contact design ensures reliable and longer lasting performance even in harsh environments.

The HS13Z is also a single-throw switch, meaning that it interrupts only one circuit, and is capable of activating multiple circuits depending on the position of the lever. This makes it a great choice for panel switching in various applications.
