5-pin Oven Switch : RS-012.
The item in the image is a 5-pin rotary selector switch with a short shaft, specifically model RS-012. It is a heavy-duty electromechanical component used to control the heating functions of household and commercial appliances.
Technical Specifications
Based on the markings and industry standards for this model:
- Model Number: RS-012.
- Electrical Rating: 16A at 250V AC. This rating allows it to safely handle high-power resistive loads typical of oven heating elements.
- Temperature Rating: T150, meaning it is built to operate reliably in high-heat environments up to 150°C (302°F).
- Pin Configuration: 5-pin output. This generally corresponds to a 5-position switch (Off + 4 functional settings), allowing users to select modes such as top heat, bottom heat, or convection.
- Mechanical Life: Rated for over 10,000 cycles of operation.
- Material: Constructed from high-temperature bakelite or reinforced thermoplastics (PA66) to prevent warping or melting near the oven
Common Applications.This specific switch is a universal spare part widely used in:
- Electric Ovens & Cookers: Acts as the primary “Function Selector” knob.
- Space Heaters: Controls different heating levels or fan settings.
- Air Conditioners & Washing Machines: Occasionally used in older or industrial models for manual mode selection.
