Switchsamlinger

Switchsamlinger are integrated units that combine several electrical switches into one mechanical and electrical assembly used to control multiple circuits. They provide a compact, organized solution for routing power and signals within equipment, control panels, and machinery.

Components and configurations: A typical switchsamling includes actuators such as toggle, push-button, or rotary elements, contact blocks, a housing or frame, mounting hardware, and wiring connectors or terminal blocks. They come in various configurations, including single-pole, double-pole, and multi-pole arrangements (for example SPST, SPDT, DPDT), allowing multiple circuits to be controlled from a single unit. Some assemblies incorporate locking devices, indicator lights, or interfaces for status reporting.

Applications: Switchsamlinger are common in industrial automation, machinery control panels, building management systems, HVAC equipment, power distribution enclosures, and railway or transit signaling where reliable, centralized control is needed.

Design and safety: Designers consider electrical ratings (voltage and current), contact configuration, mechanical life, environmental protection (dust, moisture, vibration), and safety features such as mechanical interlocks and padlocking options. They must comply with relevant standards and certifications (for example IEC or UL), and be compatible with surrounding wiring harnesses and enclosures.

Manufacture and terminology: The term is used in Danish and other Nordic languages; in English it is typically referred to as a switch assembly, switch block, or control switch module. They may be custom-built for a specific panel or purchased as standard catalog products and then wired into a system.
