RT2 Series Rotary Control Switch 2/3/5/6 Pole 2/3/4/5 Position Rotary Selector Momentary Switches 16A 250VAC

Product overview

Core functionalities

Applicable scenarios

Unique advantages

  • Multi-Position Control: The RT2 Series Rotary Control Switch offers 2/3/4/5 position configurations, enabling precise selection of operational modes or functions in electrical systems.
  • High-Capacity Connectivity: Supports 2/3/5/6 poles with a rated current of 16A and 250VAC, making it suitable for demanding applications requiring robust power distribution.

Key features

  • 1. Durable Material Construction

  • With a corrosion-resistant ABS plastic body and brass contacts, you can ensure long-lasting reliability in harsh electrical environments. The ABS material provides superior insulation and impact resistance compared to basic plastic alternatives, while brass contacts guarantee stable conductivity.*

  • 2. Ergonomic Interactive Design

  • With its compact square body and central rotating knob, you can achieve intuitive control even in confined spaces. The ergonomic design outperforms flat or recessed switches in applications requiring frequent adjustments, ensuring smooth operation.*

  • 3. High-Capacity Performance

  • With a robust 16A/250VAC rating, you can handle heavy-duty electrical loads without overheating. This surpasses lower-rated switches, making it ideal for industrial machinery and high-power appliances.*

  • 4. Customizable Versatility

  • With adjustable positions (2-5) and pole configurations (2-6), you can tailor the switch to specific control needs. This adaptability exceeds fixed-position switches, supporting applications from home appliances to commercial equipment.*

  • 5. Safety-Compliant Materials

  • With materials designed to meet safety standards (e.g., insulation and conductivity), you can ensure compliance in regulated environments. The ABS body and brass contacts align with industry norms for electrical safety.*
