RTBV31BS12DNNZP

Introduction

Rotary switches are one of the most popular members of the switch family. The RTBV31BS12DNNZP Rotary Switches come in an extremely compact, modular format and provide immense flexibility of application and great durability. The size and construction of this type of switch makes it suitable for a wide variety of applications, including low-voltage control, load switching, and many other types of switching operations.

Application Field

Rotary switches are commonly used in many types of equipment and industries, from medical and industrial to marine and aviation. This particular switch is perfect for those types of applications because it offers a range of contact configurations, a built-in LED indicator, and a snap-in mounting system that makes it easy to integrate into any type of panel assembly. It is also capable of withstanding high levels of vibration and shock.

The RTBV31BS12DNNZP is designed for use in environments with lower operating currents, allowing users to control a variety of loads with a reliable and cost effective solution. It can be used in low voltage applications like signal communication, lighting and alarm control, electronic voting systems, and data gathering. The switch also has solid-state circuitry that can be programmed to meet customer-specific applications.

Working Principle

The RTBV31BS12DNNZP works on the principle of using a rotating thumbwheel to select a specific contact or contacts to be activated. As the thumbwheel is rotated, the contacts change between on and off positions. This type of switch is most often found in the telecom industry, where they are used to select either a tone or a pulse depending on the user’s need. In similar applications, like in medical and industrial, the rotary switch can be used to control variable voltages, temperatures, and other processes.

The switch operates by using a series of carbon contacts, which are spring-loaded, which makes them more reliable than a simple switch. This type of switch is also highly reliable and is resistant to corrosion and dust. Additionally, it can be operated in both the manual and automatic modes, making it extremely versatile for all types of applications.

Conclusion

The RTBV31BS12DNNZP is a highly efficient and reliable switch that is perfect for any number of industries and applications. Its small size and modular design make it a great choice for any type of application, and its LED indicator and snap-in mounting system ensure that it will last for years. The switch is also able to withstand a variety of environments, from high-vibration to low-voltage control. With its built-in solid-state circuitry, it can also be programmed to meet customer-specific applications.
