Lorlin MT SP8T 8-Pole 500mA PCB Terminal Rotary Switch, 9.2mm TO-5 Package

Lorlin SP8T model MTS-11-10 is an 8-pole rotary switch designed for compact and reliable electrical switching solutions in industrial, automation, and electronics applications. This rotary switch uses a moulded 9.2mm diameter TO-5 package and features a fibreglass reinforced polybutylene terephthalate housing that ensures durability and resilience in demanding environments.

It supports a single-pole 8-position configuration with 7 break-before-make contacts and a normally closed contact, allowing precise circuit isolation and control. The switch can handle up to 500mA current with maximum AC voltage of 500V and DC voltage of 24V, making it suitable for low-to-medium power control circuits on PCB assemblies.

The compact design includes PCB terminals with a pin spacing of 2.54mm between pins and 5.08mm between rows, facilitating easy and secure mounting on printed circuit boards. The switch actuator is black in color and provides a tactile positive action with 360-degree rotation and 45-degree indexing steps for accurate positioning.

Its operating temperature range of -30°C to +65°C allows use in a variety of industrial and commercial electronic applications, including automation equipment, instrumentation control panels, and test devices. The mechanical life expectancy exceeds 5000 cycles, offering reliable operation over extended use.

The switch complies with RoHS environmental standards, supporting sustainable manufacturing and disposal practices. Its small footprint and robust construction make it ideal for subminiature rotary switch requirements in electronics and electrical equipment manufacturing.

The rotary switch features a moulded 9.2mm diameter TO-5 package for space-saving applications. It supports an 8-pole single-pole configuration with 7 break-before-make positions plus normally closed contact. The device offers a high mechanical life of over 5000 cycles for reliable long-term operation.

Constructed with fibreglass reinforced polybutylene terephthalate housing for durability. Operating temperature range from -30°C to +65°C suits various industrial environments. It provides 360-degree angle of throw with 45-degree indexing and positive action.

The black actuator enhances ease of identification and operation. Terminal type is PCB terminal with a pin pitch of 2.54mm between pins and 5.08mm between rows, suitable for standard PCB layouts. The switch is RoHS compliant, meeting environmental standards.
