Our rotary switches are highly versatile, multi-pole, multi-position, and multi-functional. Standard rotary wafer switches are suitable for use in applications up to 300 Volts.
NSF offer a variety of rotary switch configurations with different index mechanisms and wafers, depending on the current and positions required. Customisation includes terminations- solder lug, vertical or right angled P.C. tags, shaft configurations and contact material.
Datasheets for our standard rotary switch products are available below, for more information email enquiries@nsfcontrols.co.uk
Rotary Wafer Switch Design Considerations
Life Ratings
Provided the switch is used within it’s electrical ratings the electrical life expectancy for our standard product range is 10,000 cycles, 1 cycle is 0-360-0 degrees.
Silver alloy contacts will increase this to 20,000 cycles.
Mechanical life expectancy is 20,000 cycles.
Datasheets
Rotary wafer switches are available in many combinations, the rotary wafer configuration table lists the commonly used variants including information about, max. poles per switch, indexing angles and max. pole/switching per wafer. You can also find further helpful information about rotary wafer switches in the FAQs.
