E CONSTRUCTION DETAILS
DETENT-ACTION SWITCHES
Overview
The mounting plate (1) connects a detent assembly (2) to one or more contact decks (3)
and finally a position limiting stop plate (4). These assemblies are bolted together along
with a steel shaft (5) and a handle (6).
The Electrical Design
The Detent Switch contacts operate on the time proven reliable principle of knife switches –
double-sided, double-wiping, spring-wiper blades closing on both sides of a terminal. This design
is shock-proof and virtually bounce-proof. Figure 2 shows a typical contacting arrangement. The barrier next to the stationary terminals is clearly marked with numerals for Series 24
and 31 that correspond with the wiring diagrams.
Terminal screws secure the external wiring to the terminals.
Jumpering may be done right on the switch
providing a simple and neat arrangement.
Silver plated brass strap jumpers are available
for adjacent contacts – either between adjacent
contacts on the same deck or the same terminal
location on adjacent decks. Wire and lug jumpers
Figure 2 are also available. Jumpers are already supplied
assembled on the typical instrument switches,
illustrated in this catalog, simplifying field wiring.
All you need to do is connect the instrument

The detent assembly contains a specially designed star wheel and up to four spring-loaded The Stop Plate

Control switches generally have positions both 45˚ left and right of the normal vertical position. screws are supplied assembled for typical instrument switches.
The handle spring-returns to the normal position. The pull-to-lock mechanism enables an operator
to turn the handle beyond the left (normally TRIP) position to the 90˚ location, pull out the
handle and thereby lock the switch into this position. This precludes the possibility of someone
inadvertently closing a circuit-breaker when it is desired that it stay in the tripped position.
