MRK206-CC

Rotary switches are switches operated by rotating an actuator shaft similar to a potentiometer. They are classified into numerous varieties and Mark 206-CC is one of them. The Mark 206-CC has the advantage of being a sealed rotary-action switch.

The MRK206-CC rotary switch is designed for commercial and industrial applications requiring gas and dust-tight reliability. Its rated AC voltage is 600 volts and its dielectric strength is 4kV. It also offers a wide range of working temperature operating in the range of -20°C to +85°C. The switch allows for low power contact rating of 1a at 31 v and a motor start rating of 5a at 250 vAC. It also allows for contact closure and stirring forces of 6oz-in max. With its IP 67 rating, it can be applied in humid, wet and dust environments, and can be mounted in various positions.

The main working principle behind the switch is simple and efficient. It simply uses a rotating lever or crank to move one or more electrical contacts. The number of contact positions (usually on the side of the switch) is determined by the number of contacts present and the number of contact paths. For example, in the MRK206-CC switch, it has a six-position rotary switch that uses one contact path. The contact, connected to the actuator shaft, turns on the switch as it moves from one position to the next.

The MRK206-CC rotary switch is highly reliable and efficient compared to other rotary switches. It is easily installed, requires minimal maintenance and can serve for a wide range of commercial and industrial applications requiring dust and gas tight reliability.
