Single Deck Rotary Switches
Military Qualification
The dimensions for qualified switches are
the same as those indicated in the drawings
of standard switches. Switches with standard
variations, such as shaft and bushing length,
which do not affect switch performance, can be
marked as qualified product. Contact Grayhill
for complete information on variations.
36°, 45°, 60°, 90° (Series 50): The C and M
style switches are qualified to MIL-S-3786/20.
They include the following:
Solder lug or PC terminals
With or without panel seal
Series 50 qualified switches may be ordered
by the ‘M’ number or by the Grayhill part
number.
30° (Series 51): The C and M style switches
are qualified to MIL-S-3786/35. They include
the following:
Solder lug or PC terminals
With or without panel seal
Series 51 qualified switches may be ordered
by the ‘M’ number or by the Grayhill part
number.
SPECIFICATIONS: Other
Electrical Ratings
Life Expectancy: With the limiting criteria stated
here, the Series 50 and 51 with non-shorting
contacts will switch the following loads at
atmospheric and reduced pressures for 25,000
cycles of operations. One cycle is 360° rotation
clockwise and 360° return.
At 85°C, atmospheric pressure
200 mA, 28 Vdc resistive
150 mA, 115 Vac resistive
30 mA, 28 Vdc inductive
100 mA, 28 Vdc lamp load
75 mA, 220 Vac lamp load
At 25°C, reduced pressure (70,000 feet)
200 mA, 28 Vdc resistive
150 mA, 115 Vac resistive
75 mA, 220 Vac resistive
Contact Resistance: 20 milliohms maximum,
(10 milliohms initially).
Insulation Resistance: 1,000 Mohms
minimum between mutually insulated parts.
Voltage Breakdown: 600 Vac minimum
between mutually insulated parts at standard
atmospheric pressure.
Life Expectancy: Listed for the voltage source
and make and break current levels. Contact
Grayhill for more information if any of the
following is true: the life limiting criteria are
more critical than those listed; longer operation
is required; a larger make and break current is
required; the operating environment includes
elevated temperatures or reduced pressures.
Contact Carry Rating: Switch will carry
6 amperes continuously with a maximum
contact temperature rise of 20°C.
Rotary Switches
Additional Characteristics
Contact Type and Forces: Shorting or non-
shorting wiping contacts with over 80 grams
of contact force.
Shaft Flat Orientation: Flat op posite
contacting position of pole number one (see
circuit diagrams).
Terminals: Switches have the full circle of
terminals, regardless of number of active
position.
Stop Strength: 7.5 pound-inches minimum
Rotational Torque: 8–24 ounce-inches,
depending on the number of poles.
PROCESS SEALED–Style T
Switch can be mounted on PC board with other
components and subjected to wave soldering
and conventional board cleaning techniques. No
secondary wiring or soldering is necessary.
Bushing is o-ring sealed; epoxy potting seals the
terminals and the rear of the switch. Designed
for PC assembly, this sealing technique can also
be applied to solder lug terminal switches. A
bushing to panel seal can also be added to the
process sealed versions. Military qualified versions are available, see ordering information.

Detent Rotor: Nylon
Shaft, Stop Blades, Stop Arm, Thrust washer,
and Retaining Ring: Stainless steel
Detent Balls: Steel, nickel-plated
Bushing:Zinc,tin-zincplated

Common Ring: Brass, gold-plated over silver
plate.
Terminals: Brass, gold-plated over silver plate
and nickel plate
1/4" SHAFT: Style K

plated
Panel Seal: Silicone rubber
Shaft Seal: Fluorosilicone
Mounting Nuts:Brass,tin-zincplated
Mounting Hardware: One mounting nut .089"
thick by .375" across flats and one internal tooth
lockwasher are supplied with the switch.
Maximum Mounting Torque: 15in-lbs

ADJUSTABLE STOPS: Style D
Adjustable stops permit the user to set and reset
the number of positions per poles. Shown in
the diagram, a plastic washer can be removed
to reveal slots at the base of the bushing. Stop
blades can be inserted into the appropriate
slots to limit switch rotation. Positions per pole
configuration can thus be changed to meet the
needs of the application. Dimensions are the
same as the fixed stop version, when plastic
washer is in place. Most desirable for prototype
work. Readily available from local distributor.
SHAFT AND PANEL SEAL: Styles S and M
SCREWDRIVER SLOTTED SHAFT: Style B
METRIC SHAFT AND BUSHING: Style E
Shaft and panel seal switches
are watertight to the panel. They
are not totally process sealed
like the Style “T”. Panel is sealed
by a gasket at the base of the
bushing. Shaft is sealed by an
O-ring inside the bushing. After
mounting, seals do not alter
switch dimensions. See Style
“S” (standard switches) and
Style “M” (military switches) in
the Choices and Limitations
chart.
Form, fit and function equivalent
to standard shaft switches. The
dimensions shown have evolved
as the most popular for this
type of switch. See Style “B”
in the Choices and Limitations
chart . Previous users may
have ordered these switches
by a non-descriptive part number containing a “Y”. Contact
Grayhill, if in doubt about a
cross-reference.
Metric standard dimensions
for the shaft and bushing are
shown in the drawing. Other
dimensions approximately the
same as shown in dimensional
drawing. Contact Grayhill for
exact dimensions. See Style “E”
in the Choices and Limitations
chart.
ACCESSORY: Non-Turn Washers
In Inches (and millimeters)
Part No. 50J1066
Cut round hole for the bushing and for
the non-turn tab. Washer fits the double D
bushing flats. Washer is sold only when accompanied by an order for a like number of
switches. Washer is 302 stainless steel.
Dimensions are in millimeters
Part No. 71J1103
Designed to fit the double flatted bushing of
the metric dimensioned bushing, this nonturn washer permits a round hole for the
bushing and the tab while still preventing
switch rotation. Washer is only sold when
accompanied by a like number of switches.
Washer is 302 stainless steel.
Rotary Switches
Designed to fit the single flatted bushing of
the"K"styleswitches,thisnon-turnwasher
prevents switch rotation when using a full
round hole in the panel. Washer is only sold
when accompanied by a like number of
switches. Washer is 302 stainless steel.
