Selector Switches A panelmounted switch that routes one of several electrical paths. Ideal for control panels, test rigs, and equipment that requires quick, reliable path selection. Key benefits Positive detents provide deliberate operation and reduce accidental changes. Flexible configurations (SPDT, DPDT and more) with maintained or momentary action. Broad compatibility; ratings vary by model, suitable for automation, instrumentation, and consumer equipment. Durable housing in metal or reinforced plastic, with standard panel cutouts and multiple terminal styles. Low contact resistance and long mechanical life for frequent use. Considerations Function: number of circuits and action type. Compatibility: voltage/current ratings and terminal options. Size and mounting: panel cutout, depth, and housing material. Performance: contact configuration, life cycle, and environmental protection (model dependent). Applications Industrial control panel: select operating mode or route power. Laboratory/test bench: switch between signal paths or sources. Equipment rack: route signals or control lines in compact installations. Note: refer to exact model specs for ratings and options.
