RS PRO RT Rotary Switch 0.5A Solder PCB 48V DC Miniature 175-8153

The RS PRO 175-8153 RT Rotary Switch is a miniature control switch designed for precision and reliability in PCB-mounted electronic devices. Featuring a robust nylon housing, it offers dependable electrical insulation and supports low-power switching operations with a 0.5A contact rating. This rotary switch is ideally suited for applications where space-saving and secure connectivity are critical, especially in compact embedded electronic control boards.

Supporting a maximum DC voltage of 48V, the RT series rotary switch incorporates solder lug terminals for steadfast attachment and easy integration onto printed circuit boards. With a non-illuminated actuator finished in black, the device delivers a clear 90 degree angle of throw for accurate switching. Engineers and designers benefit from its wide operating temperature range, accommodating environments from -20°C to 70°C.

Constructed with premium nylon for the housing and a precise actuator mechanism, the RS PRO rotary switch offers a mechanical life of 10 cycles, ensuring stability across repeat uses and facilitating repeated switching tasks. The switch’s compact dimensions - 15.1mm in height and depth, and 9.2mm in diameter and width - allow installation in tight spaces on PCBs or equipment panels.

Typical industrial and laboratory use cases include signal selection, control panel switching, instrumentation, and automation equipment where rotary actuation, low current and compact form factor are essential. Its RoHS compliance confirms suitability for applications demanding environmental and safety responsibility.

RS PRO’s RT series rotary switch is recommended for manufacturing, automation, electrical engineering, product development, HV/AV electronics, and commercial installations requiring space-efficient, reliable, and repeatable rotary actuation.
