The Problem
Procurement lead time on rotary switches for
prototypes and small production runs can be long.
This is often a source of headache for design
engineers and production control managers.
Grayhill makes more than 300,000 combinations
of rotary switch styles; number of decks, poles
per deck, positions per pole, military qualified
or commercial grade, etc. This wide variety
makes it impractical for either distributors or
manufacturers to stock completed switches.
Consequently, even small quantities must be
built to order.
The Solution
Grayhill Electronic Distributors can supply a wide
variety of rotary switches with Adjustable Stops.
This feature gives you a switch immediately
with exactly the electrical properties you need.
These Adjustable Stop switches have the basic
mechanical characteristics of their fixed stop
counterparts. To get the right number of positions
per pole for your application, simply adjust the
stop washers or stop pins.
By stocking a few switches, the Distributor
provides over 100,000 possible combinations of
switches. This includes the popular styles, sizes,
angles of throw, number of decks, poles per
deck, positions per pole, and types of contacts.
Availability of these switches through Distributors
speeds prototype development time. There is no
time lag in waiting for factory made samples.
The Substitution
Writing an equivalent part number is easy. To
obtain an adjustable-stop equivalent to a fixed-
stop rotary switch you must substitute style
letters and possibly series number. Then replace
the positions-per-pole number in the fixed-stop
number with the letters AJ. See the examples
for the scheme.
series, style and angle of throw as well as
the adjustable stop rotary switch series, style
and angle of throw. Then the letters AJ in the
positions-per-pole location, gives you the part
number of the equivalent.
Suppliers
Distributors can supply 1 and 2-deck adjustable-
stop switches from stock (one or two poles
per deck). They can also quickly secure other
variations from factory stock. Reduce prototype
development time. Use Grayhill Adjustable
Stop Rotary Switches for all of your prototype
requirements.
These electronic distributors also maintain a
representative stock of Grayhill products. Local
availability can often “save the day”, and simplify
your paperwork.
When adjustable equivalents apply, the rotary
switch pages will indicate the substitutions.
