Carling Technologies V-Series Contura Rotary Switch

The V-Series Contura Rotary Switch was designed for maximum performance and reliability leveraging the features of the widely popular V-series Contura Rocker Switches. Available in maintained and momentary circuit options, the V-Series Rotary features a sturdy knob construction, up to three separate LEDs, and fits in an industry standard panel opening.

Internally, the V-Series Contura Rotary uses a patented mechanism that translates rotary to linear motion. This allows for common switch functionality and terminal connections with the V-Series rocker version and requires no harness change. A secondary CAM, which helps drive the mechanism, provides definitive detent positions and prevents the switch from stopping between positions, while improving tactile feel.

The V-Series Rotary also features an innovative PC board that supports the LED and surface mount resistors; and IP67 sealing protection above panel by utilizing LED and actuator stem seals. Together, these features make the V-Series Contura Rotary switch the best choice available in the market today.

Rocking to your favorite music when designing new electronic circuits can be great fun, but let's admit, choosing an appropriate rocker switch is hardly a rocking activity. Not only do you have to make sure the switch will withstand the environment, but also perform reliably. To help engineers during these times of great strife, The Carling Technologies V-Series Contura Sealed Rocker Switches provide engineers with a wide range of options for industrial, automotive, and marine applications.

These switches have multiple interchangeable parts to provide maximum flexibility during panel installation, are resistant to corrosion, vibration, and shock, and conform to multiple MIL, UL, ISO, and BS standards. Additionally, these switches offer between 1 to 2 poles, up to 20 amps of current, and voltage ratings of up to 250 volts AC. The use of an internal brass roller enables for operating at extreme temperatures, minus 40 degrees to 85 degrees, and silver-plated internal contacts support up to 100K switching cycles.
