Rotary Switch, Voltage : AC as well as DC

A rotary switch is an electrical component used to select between multiple circuits or settings by rotating a knob or lever. It features a circular dial with various positions, each corresponding to a different circuit or function. As the knob is turned, internal contacts make or break connections, allowing users to choose between different operational modes or control different devices. Rotary switches are commonly used in applications such as audio equipment, lighting control, and industrial machinery, where precise selection and reliable operation are required. They come in various configurations, including single-pole, multi-position, and multi-way designs, making them versatile for a range of applications. Their durability and ease of use make rotary switches a popular choice for both commercial and consumer electronics.
