Round Switch

A Round Switch is a type of electromechanical switch characterized by its circular or cylindrical shape. These switches are used to control the electrical state of a circuit by rotating or pressing the switch element, providing various positions or modes of operation. Round switches provide a visually distinctive and ergonomic interface for controlling functions in various devices and systems. They offer a variety of features and configurations to suit different applications and are known for their durability and ease of use.

Specifications:

• Shape: Typically circular or cylindrical in design.
• Operation: Round switches can have different methods of operation, including rotary (rotating the switch), push-button (pressing the switch), or keylock (using a key to turn the switch).
• Positions: Round switches can have multiple positions or modes, depending on the specific switch type. Common configurations include 2-position (ON/OFF) and multi-position switches.
• Poles and Throws: Round switches can be single-pole, single-throw (SPST), single-pole, double-throw (SPDT), double-pole, single-throw (DPST), or double-pole, double-throw (DPDT), with various switching configurations.
• Contact Ratings: These switches have different contact ratings, indicating the maximum current and voltage they can safely handle.
• Mounting: Available in various mounting styles, including panel mount, PCB (Printed Circuit Board) mount, and more.
• Actuator Types: Actuator options can vary, including rotating knobs, push buttons, and keylock mechanisms.
• Materials: Switch bodies are often constructed from durable materials such as metal, plastic, or a combination of materials.
• Applications: Used in a wide range of applications, including industrial control panels, instrumentation, audio equipment, and more.
