SELECTOR SWITCHES
What is a Selector Switch?
Selector Switch works on a general principle; they contain a simple
selector switch on the front of the panel, and a broad range of
potential contact combinations (via the contact blocks), on the
inside of the enclosure.
The major difference between the selector
switch and the pushbutton is that, while a pushbutton has a plate
that pushes down both contact plungers at the same time, a
selector switch has a rotating cam with ridges and flats, allowing to
actuate the plungers independently.
Selector switches are available in 2, 3, or 4-position versions, and are often used when more than one
control option is needed.
In general, the center position of the selector switch is the starting cam
position.
Left position presses the left plunger in the selector switch.
Turning the selector switch to the
right presses down the right plunger.
Selector switches use cams in combination with contact blocks to provide a wide range of circuit
openings
