RS16 Rotary Switch, 4 Position 2 Pole
Rotary switch is a switch operated by rotation. These are often chosen when more than 2 positions are needed, such as a three-speed fan or a CB radio with multiple frequencies of reception or “channels”.
A Rotary Dimmer Switch consists of a spindle or “rotor” that has a contact arm or “spoke” which projects from its surface like a cam. It has an array of terminals, arranged in a circle around the rotor, each of which serves as a contact for the “spoke” through which any one of a number of different electrical circuits can be connected to the rotor. The switch is layered to allow the use of multiple poles; each layer is equivalent to one pole. Usually such a switch has a detent mechanism that “clicks” from one active position to another rather than stalling in an intermediate position. So rotary switches provide greater pole and throw capabilities than simpler switches do.
