These sectors rely on rotary switches to perform various functions. Rotary switches are, for example, installed on control panels and printed circuit boards.<\/p>\n<p>Rotary switches are available in single-pole or multi-pole versions and can take up different positions depending on the number of connections and the intended use. Depending on the configuration, rotary switches can also be equipped with different operating elements. A protection against water and dust at different levels of an IP certification is also possible.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-456","glossary","type-glossary","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Rotary switches: functions, usage and different models<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The rotary switch is a widely used product in the field of electrical engineering.
