956 Series, Selector Switches

A Selector switch is a type of device used to control current flow along one or more circuits. These switches consist of an actuator or knob that can be turned back and forth along a central axis point, with a predetermined number of stopping positions typically ranging from 2 to 7. Selector switches offer a variety of switch functions, including on-off, on-on, on-off-mom, mom-off-mom, or on-on-on-on-on-on-on. The on-off function allows the user to turn the switch on or off, while the on-on function provides two different selectable options. The on-off-mom and mom-off-mom functions allow for momentary activation in addition to on/off capabilities. Finally, the on-on-on-on-on-on-on function allows for multiple selectable options. Selector switches are commonly used in a wide range of applications where precise control over electrical circuits is required. These switches can be found in consumer electronics, industrial machinery, automotive controls, and more. When selecting a selector switch, it is important to consider the specific requirements of the application. Factors such as the number of circuits required, the type of switch function needed, the actuator style, and the current and voltage ratings should all be taken into account. In summary, Selector switches are essential devices used to control current flow along one or more circuits. They feature an actuator or knob that can be turned back and forth along a center axis point with a predetermined number of stopping positions. They offer a range of switch functions, including on-off, on-on, on-off-mom, mom-off-mom, or on-on-on-on-on-on-on. Selector switches are commonly used in various applications and their selection should be based on specific application requirements.
