MULTI-POSITION ROTARY SWITCH

摘要

A multi-position rotary switch consists of several switch chamber modules that are arranged one next to the other and that are constructed equally relative to each other. Each switch chamber module contains a separate line switch allocated to a circuit. A standalone actuator housing holds a catch assembly for a switch shaft. The switch shaft is coupled with a cam slide by means of a gear drive. The cam slide is located between the block made from switch chamber modules and the housing for the activation mechanism. The housing for the activation mechanism is designed for a standard configuration of the multi-position rotary switch with three switch chamber modules connected to each other. The electrical terminals of the multi-position rotary switch are located on the narrow sides of the individual switch chamber modules. Thus, terminals are provided on two sides in the finished multi-position rotary switches, wherein the terminals lie at the same height on one side.
