Lorlin MT 8-Pole SP8T Rotary Switch 500mA, Fibreglass Reinforced Polybutylene Terephthalate Housing, PCB Terminal

Lorlin SP8T 8-Pole Rotary Switch MTL-21-80 is a high-quality subminiature TO-5 rotary switch designed for electrical, automation, and electronics applications. It features a durable fibreglass reinforced polybutylene terephthalate housing in a compact 9.2mm diameter package with a height of 14.2mm. This rotary switch supports a contact current of 500mA, with a maximum AC voltage of 500V and DC voltage of 24V, making it suitable for isolating and switching circuits.

With 8 poles and SP8T contact configuration, the switch provides reliable multiple position selection via a 45° indexing mechanism and a 315° angle of throw. The black actuator offers good tactile feedback and ease of operation. The switch is designed to mount on printed circuit boards with PCB terminals spaced at 2.54mm between pins and 5.08mm between rows, ensuring straightforward integration.

The Lorlin MT SP8T rotary switch is RoHS compliant, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations. It is engineered to perform reliably in harsh conditions with an operating temperature range of -30°C to +65°C and a mechanical life exceeding 5000 cycles, ensuring excellent durability in industrial automation and electronics projects.

The 500mA contact current rating makes this switch ideal for low-current control applications. Its small form factor suits subminiature devices requiring reliable switch functions with multiple poles. The robust housing material ensures protection against mechanical stress and environmental factors.

The switch configuration includes an off position, supporting precise control in circuit design. Compact dimensions facilitate use in space-constrained assemblies.

This rotary switch is widely used in industrial controls, laboratory instruments, automation systems, and any application requiring precise multi-position switching with minimal footprint. Its PCB mounting style supports modern printed circuit board assemblies commonly used in electrical and electronic devices.
