What is a rotary switch? What is rotary switch used for?
The rotary switch is a type of electrical switch and a primary electromechanical device that is utilised to regulate a number of circuits by rotating the switch's actuator only. Rotary switches are used in different electronic devices. Through the feature of precise control of circuits, their application has become fundamental in contemporary electronics. A rotary switch may be more complex than a simple switch that is designed to have only two states – on and off. Also, a rotary switch can have several positions, therefore enabling a more complex control of an electrical device.
Rotary switches are popular in many applications, including radio, automobiles, and industrial equipment. These switches are reliable and versatile as they are capable of performing more tasks than simple switching. A rotary switch's operation is to switch current to various circuits; therefore, it can suit single-phase or multiple-phase circuits.
MINJIA power rotary switch is also called the gear switch. It can control multiple sets of circuits at the same time. Through the rotation of the switch, it achieves the required function and increases or decreases the power. It generally used in ovens, kitchen equipment, electric stoves, and other electrical equipment which need to constantly adjust the power. The maximum current of each group of switches can withstand 16A/30A, and the voltage is 250V/380V. The switches range from one section to 12 sections. There are various wiring methods. They use flexible and can be customized according to customer needs.
