Selector switches provide a simple, reliable way to choose between circuits, modes, or sources directly from a control panel. What it does: provides a single point of control to select among positions or settings with a positive detent for accurate, repeatable operation. Why you need it: reduces wiring errors, speeds setup, and clarifies active path on the panel for easier troubleshooting. Key attributes: Function: manual, multiposition switch for mode or circuit selection. Compatibility: fits standard panel cutouts; available in common shaft sizes; works with most control systems and wiring schemes. Size: compact footprint for crowded panels; configurable depth options. Material: durable housing options in polycarbonate or metal; robust shaft and detent mechanism; contact materials chosen for reliable current transfer. Performance: low contact resistance; reliability; wide operating temperature range; suitable for typical control voltages and currents per model. Use scenarios: In a CNC machine control panel to switch between manual, automatic, and test modes. In a laboratory power supply to select different output sources or voltage ranges. In an industrial automation panel to route signals or select operating modes for conveyors or robotic axes. How it helps: enables quick, unambiguous selection, reducing downtime and simplifying maintenance.
