Selector Switch

A selector switch is a type of switch that is used to select between two or more circuits. 

It is typically a rotary switch with a knob or lever that can be turned to select the desired circuit. Selector switches are often used in audio and video equipment to select the input source, such as a CD player, DVD player, or television. They are also used in industrial control panels to select the operating mode of a machine.

Selector switches can be either single-pole or double-pole. A single-pole selector switch has one set of contacts, while a double-pole selector switch has two sets of contacts. This allows a double-pole selector switch to be used to control two circuits at the same time.

Selector switches are available in a variety of sizes and configurations. The number of positions on a selector switch can vary from two to several dozen. The size of the selector switch is determined by the number of positions and the amount of current that the switch is rated to carry.

Selector switches are typically made of plastic or metal. Plastic selector switches are less expensive than metal selector switches, but they are also less durable. Metal selector switches are more durable, but they are also more expensive.

Selector switches are a versatile type of switch that can be used in a variety of applications. They are a reliable and efficient way to select between two or more circuits.

Here are some of the common types of selector switches:

Rotary selector switches: These switches have a knob or lever that can be turned to select the desired position.

Pushbutton selector switches: These switches have a button that must be pressed to select the desired position.

Slide selector switches: These switches have a lever that can be slid to select the desired position.

Toggle selector switches: These switches have a lever that can be flipped to select the desired position.

Selector switches are used in a variety of applications, including:

•Audio and video equipment

•Industrial control panels

•Computer systems

•Telecommunications equipment

•Medical devices

•Automotive systems
