Single Deck Rotary Switches
SPECIFICAtIONS
Electrical Rating
Rated: To make and break the following loads:
1 amp at 115 Vac, resistive; 0.5 amp at 220 Vac
resistive; 1/4 amp, 115 Vac inductive; 1/50 amp,
115 Vdc inductive; 1/10 amp, 6 to 28 Vdc induc-
tive; 1/10 amp, 115 Vdc resistive; 1 amp, 6 to 28
Vdc resistive; to carry 10 amps continuously.
Contact Resistance: 10 milliohms initial.
After 25,000 cycles of operation 20 milliohms
maximum.
Insulation Resistance: 50,000 Mohms
minimum initially
voltage Breakdown: 1,000 Vac, (500 Vac, or
better after most environmental tests).
Life Expectancy: 100,000 mechanical cycles
of operation normally. NOTE: Actual life is deter-
mined by a number of factors, including electrical
loading, rate of rotation, and environment, as
well as maximum contact resistance, minimum
insulation resistance, and minimum voltage
breakdown required at the end of life.
Materials and Finishes
Switch Base: Melamine per (MIL-M-14)
ASTM-D-5948
Cover, Stop washers, Bushing: Brass, tin/
zinc-plated
Contacts: Both shorting and non-shorting
wiping contacts have over 300 grams contact
force.
Retaining Rings, Stop Arms, and thrust
washers: Stainless steel

ORDERINg INFORMAtION
Switches are single deck, one pole switches
of 2 to 10 positions. They have plastic or steel
shaft, with solder lug or PC terminals, with either
shorting or non-shorting contacts (plastic shaft
PC mount in non-shorting only). Ten position
switches have continuous rotation; fixed stop
switch with a metal shaft is available by special
order. Base part numbers are as follows:
Lug style, steel shaft: 24001-X*
Lug style, plastic shaft: 24B36-01-1-X*
PC style, steel shaft:
24878-X*
PC style, plastic shaft: 24P36-01-1-X*
The X is replaced with the number of positions
required (02, 03, etc.) Complete the part number
by adding N for non-shorting contacts or S for
shorting contacts.
Available from your local grayhill
Distributor.
For prices and discounts, contact a local
Sales Office, an authorized local
Distributor or Grayhill.
