Forgókapcsolóval

Forgókapcsolóval is a Hungarian term that translates to "rotary switch" in English. It refers to an electrical switch that operates by rotating a knob or lever to different positions, each position making or breaking electrical connections. These switches are commonly used to select between different functions, modes, or circuits within an electronic device.

The mechanism of a forgókapcsolóval typically involves a rotating shaft connected to a cam or a series of contact arms. As the shaft is turned, these components move and engage with fixed contacts, thereby altering the flow of electricity. The number of positions a rotary switch has can vary widely, from just a few to many, allowing for complex circuit selection.

Applications of forgókapcsolóval are diverse. They can be found in domestic appliances like washing machines for selecting wash cycles, in audio equipment for choosing input sources or signal paths, and in industrial machinery for controlling different operational modes. They are valued for their durability, straightforward operation, and ability to handle multiple circuits simultaneously. The construction of rotary switches can range from simple wafer switches to more robust multi-pole, multi-position designs.
