      	| For isothermal, low resistance switching of temperature measurement 
circuits, OMEGA offers three styles of selector switches. The OSW style features 
silver plated contacts, while the OSWG line includes gold plated contacts. The 
SW14 1/4 DIN switches come with gold or silver-plated contacts. Each style 
offers 2 to 34 positions in a break-resistant Noryl case.
 The isothermal design of these
rotary switches minimizes
temperature gradients between the
input and output thermocouple
wiring. This in turn minimizes errors
in transmitting thermocouple signals
due to the generation of a thermal
emf at the wire junctions. The low
resistance of the silver or gold
plated contacts also enables
switching of temperature sensitive
resistance devices, such as RTDs
and thermistors.
 Two pole 
SW and OSW series switches have
a convenient . off. position.
The . off. position may be
left as an open circuit or shorted to
keep spurious signals from
registering on thermocouple
instruments.Each pole is fully
isolated. For quick and easy wiring,
the terminals located at the rear of
the switch are clearly marked.
 
 
 OMEGA 
is pleased to offer a rotary selector
switches in a 1/4 DIN size. Like
our other rotary selector switches,
this model is available with Break
Before Make and Make Before Break
contact action. Models are available
with 2 to 34 positions in 2, 3 or
4 pole versions. The 1/4 DIN switch also
has . jab-in. style connections.
