Y20A00260FP application field and working principle

Rotary switches are a type of manual handling device used to make and break electrical contacts. They have a rotating shaft with a circular arrangement of contacts around it, usually consisting of a few rotary positions. The rotary switch consists of a contact block, a spring block and a switch body, which can rotate relative to each other around a common axis. Y20A00260FP are a rotary switch with a single-pole-double-throw (SPDT) configuration and a threaded bushing.

Application field

Y20A00260FP is a versatile and ideal multipurpose switch device for a wide range of applications. Some of the most common applications include control of lighting systems, motor control, telecommunications and computer networks, industrial automation, fire alarms and HVAC systems. This switch can also be used in various audio and video applications such as multi-channel switch systems, matrix switching and signal switching.

Working Principle

The Y20A00260FP is designed to make and break electrical contacts between two or more fixed points. The switch has a rotatable shaft with contacts positioned radially around it which makes it possible to switch circuits on and off several times before the contact is engaged. A spring-loaded mechanism also makes it possible to make and break contacts in a rapid and reliable manner. When the switch is turned, it rotates the contact block and displaces it from its original position,thus opening or closing it. Since there is no power required, this switch is considered a reliable, efficient and cost-effective device.
