When you need to make very tiny measurements, even noise in closed relays can throw you off. [Marco] was able to observe this effect and wanted to build a switch that didn’t have this problem. He ...

There are certain challenges we all will have to face sooner or later. Changing a flat tire in the rain, trying to put on a shirt that doesn’t quite fit, or producing a 16 position rotary switch for a ...

Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Inc. has released its new rotary switch product family. In 2010, SEL purchased VoltAmp, a manufacturer of rotary switches. Building on VoltAmp’s 40 years of switch ...

Elma Electronic recently revealed the multi-function MR50 0.5-inch rotary switch for harsh environments. Suited for space-constrained handheld and mobile devices, the rotary switch offers precision ...

Transfer time is about 10 msec. The switches feature continuous ratings from 20 to 200 A at 600 V. Some configurations allow for four positions and 12 poles. To prevent contamination, switching takes ...

We show here how an imidazolyl ring incorporated into a rotary switch based on a hydrazone enables a switching cascade that involves proton relay between two different switches. The switching process ...

Vying for position as a contactless alternative to mechanical rotary switches, the AS5030 and AS5130 8-bit absolute magnetic rotary encoders integrate push button and low-power mode features. Both ...

Touting variable speed operation, a new series of rotary ac switch has three major functions. It serves as a main power switch; as the switch is rotated into the on position, it enters the ...
