Cam Switch Configurator

Build the switching programme first. The app derives actual switch positions, cam profiles, return paths, physical construction, and jumper wiring from that programme.

Switch details

Select a Cantak model and its published rated current, then add the project information.

Switching programme

Each row represents one 15° physical cam sector. Positions are derived from closed contacts and continuous-cut midpoints.

Stage 1 shared cam: within limits
Each contact pair can use up to 180°.

Physical switch construction

Complete all-angle construction derived from the switching programme. Each stage shows its shared outer and inner cam profiles without repeating a selected-angle contact state.

Internal bridge: direct between terminal circlesExternal wires: separate colors and routing heights
No physical jumpers configured.

Global physical jumper wiring

Jumpers apply at every cam angle.

Allowed connection
Only valid terminal groups are available.

Jumper limitations used by this app

These are conservative generic engineering assumptions, not manufacturer-confirmed Secfetronik hardware rules.

Internal bridgeA short direct link between the two terminal circles in one stage: 1↔3 or 2↔4, then the equivalent connections in each following stage.
External wireConnects the same terminal position across two or three consecutive stages only, such as 1↔5, 2↔6, or 1↔5↔9.
Maximum external groupAn external connection is limited to two or three terminals. Longer groups are not offered.
Multi-terminal commonIf a terminal already participates in another jumper, the app warns that a common bus/branch is being created and combined current must be checked.
Not electrically validatedThe app does not know L1/L2/L3, circuit voltage, load, fault current, conductor size, or protective devices, so a physically allowed jumper may still be electrically unsafe.
Manufacturer confirmationRigid internal bridge availability, spacing, insulation, current rating, and layer restrictions must be confirmed for the actual switch series.

Prototype configurator. Always verify the final switching programme, contact ratings, bridge hardware and wiring with the actual cam-switch manufacturer before production.
