R097N-SW1-B50K-41CC-15KQ7±10%

R097N-SW1-B50K-41CC-15KQ7±10% Composite Potentiometer with Switch

Product Overview

The R097N-SW1-B50K-41CC-15KQ7±10% is an innovative composite potentiometer with switch, seamlessly integrating knob-based speed/voltage adjustment with a circuit power switch to deliver convenient “one-knob, dual-function” operation. This potentiometer features a mechanically linked switch at the rear or bottom of a standard rotary potentiometer, available in two types: rotary-trigger and push-pull-trigger. When the knob is turned to its starting position, an internal cam triggers a spring-loaded contact to disconnect the power supply, combining resistance adjustment and power control into one device. This effectively streamlines the product’s user interface, significantly saving PCB space inside the product and reducing housing opening costs, making it an ideal component for optimizing structure, cutting costs, and boosting efficiency in consumer electronics.

Operating Principle

The core operating principle of the R097N-SW1-B50K-41CC-15KQ7±10% lies in the combination of the potentiometer’s resistance-adjustment capability and the mechanical switch’s on/off control function. Built upon the structure of a standard rotary potentiometer, a mechanical switch is integrated at the rear or bottom, with trigger mechanisms available in rotary-trigger and push-pull-trigger versions. As the user turns the knob to adjust resistance, the potentiometer portion changes its resistance value accordingly, enabling functions such as speed control, voltage regulation, or volume adjustment. When the knob reaches its initial position, an internal cam mechanism activates a spring contact that directly breaks the power circuit, cutting off power to the entire system without requiring a separate switch—truly achieving a convenient design where one knob handles two core operations.
