Rotary Switches

HS16-2N Application Field and Working Principle

Rotary switches, also known as rotary cam, are manual electronic switches that are operated by rotating a knob or shaft to provide a variety of options for electrical control. Commonly used for selecting among several power sources, controlling motor speed, and adjusting sound volume, these switches are highly versatile and available in a variety of types. The HS16-2N is an example of a rotary switch sold and manufactured by many suppliers and the applications, features, and working principle are covered in the article below.

Applications

The HS16-2N is a common form of rotary switch. It has contacts which are arranged in two lengthwise rows and each contact is connected to two or three terminals. This rotary switch is usually installed in machinery which require toggling between multiple energized circuits such as moving machinery and sound equipment. As it has a double row design, the switch is able to toggle between circuit A and B or B and C or even A, B, and C. This means it is versatile enough to be used in a variety of applications.

The HS16-2N is able to be used in industrial controls and automation, such as machine tools and conveyor belts. Motors and transformers can also be controlled in many applications by using a rotary switch. As the switch is compact and it is able to move from one circuit to another quickly and easily, many companies use this switch for a range of applications including medical equipment, lighting controls, and sound equipment. Furthermore, rotary switches are generally less expensive than other types of switches so they are often used in consumer applications as well.

Features

The HS16-2N rotary switch has a number of features that make it an excellent choice for many applications. It has a double row design which means it is able to switch between multiple circuits. As each contact is connected to two or three terminals, the potential circuits this switch can be used in expands even further. The switch is also designed to be durable and reliable, and is rated for up to 8A electrical current. It also has a built-in locking mechanism which prevents unintended operation, a key that ensures you can only switch to certain circuits, and position indication to ensure you know which circuits are currently selected.

Working Principle

The HS16-2N is a form of rotary switch. In its simplest form, a rotary switch works by connecting two electrical signals together in an interlocking manner when the knob is in a certain position. Essentially, the knob rotates a cam which has contacts embedded in it. As the cam rotates, it unlocks and locks specific electrical contacts and this in turn controls which circuits are connected to each other. The cam can be designed to have multiple circuits so that when the knob is in a certain position, one circuit is connected while in another position, an entirely different circuit is connected.

The HS16-2N has a double row design which means it is able to switch between multiple circuits. This means that it has two cams, each with its own set of contacts, and each cam has its own knob. A key is also installed on the rotary switch so that you can only position the switch in certain designated positions, which provides additional security so that the wrong circuit isn\'t inadvertently selected.

Rotary switches are highly versatile and can be used in a wide variety of applications. The HS16-2N is a popular and commonly used rotary switch which is able to switch between multiple circuits and the features and working principles of this switch are explained in this article.
