Basic elements
When building a model, robot or prototype on a PCB, switches are often used for control (e.g. ON ON or ON OFF ON). There are a whole lot of them, of various types. In this section, we have prepared rotary switches for you in various sizes, with a diameter from 6 to 19 mm, operating from two to even twelve positions.
Moreover, each type of switch may have a different number of stable positions. Our technical department ensures that the offered elements are of the highest quality and at the same time affordable. Check out our categories and choose a layout that suits your layout model.
Rotary switches in everyday use
When we get into the car and put the key in the ignition, do we realize that we are using the rotary switch? Probably few people pay attention to this. In our store we offer many different types of switches and everyone dealing with electronics will certainly find something for themselves here.
When choosing rotary switches, pay attention, for example, to the durability of this type of element. Most often, this value is determined by the number of switching cycles. The switching method and contact configuration are also important.
Relay selection
When choosing a switch, let's first determine what type we will need; which one will meet our needs. We have a number of switches and buttons to choose from in the Botland store, including: digital, limit, rotary, panel, slider, lever, button, rocker, touch or Tact Switch type.
The choice is huge, and these are only some of the available categories. Then you need to decide what material the switch should be made of. By adapting it to the conditions in which it will operate, we will extend its trouble-free use. In addition, in the assembly electronics section you can also find various housings , cables , connectors and many other components and accessories.
Rotary switches - Botland - Robotics shop
Our store's assortment includes reliable rotary switches with a service life of up to 10,000 switches. The most common angle of rotation for one position is 30°. The rotary switch available in this category does not close when switched. Particularly noteworthy is the rotary key switch, equipped with three terminals for soldering wires. 2, 3, 6 and even 12-position rotary switches are available in variants made of light and durable plastic or metal. We offer models with various numbers of pins, from a few to even a dozen or so. We make every effort to ensure that the net price of each product is affordable for both professionals and beginner electronics and DIY enthusiasts.
Rotary switches - FAQ
A rotary switch is a specific type of switch that has several or a dozen states. The state is changed by rotating, for example, 30 degrees. The lifespan of rotary switches is defined by the manufacturer as the minimum number of switches (usually from several to several thousand switches). Rotary switches differ not only in contact resistance and the number of states, but also in electrical parameters and thread. The Botland store's assortment includes rotary switches that do not close during switching.
When choosing a specific rotary switch model, first of all, pay attention to the number of states, the number of circuits, pins and electrical parameters (voltage and current) for alternating and direct current. Other important factors determining the choice of a rotary switch are contact resistance, service life, i.e. the minimum number of switches declared by the manufacturer, rotation angle enabling one position change, thread type and physical dimensions. It is also worth paying attention to the material from which the switch is made (plastic or metal).
Rotary switches are used, among others, in household appliances (ovens and gas stoves). Another application is car ignitions, various types of industrial machines and control panels. Additionally, rotary switches are used in many DIY projects. Additionally, we encourage you to check out the electronic and digital switches category.
