LORIN ELECTRONICS (UK) - Rotary Switch
Made in United Kingdom (stamped into the switch body) - LORIN does NOT outsource it's switch production!
Type: 12 position
Action: 1 pole x up to 12 position
Why "up to 12 positions"? Because these high quality LORIN switches have a stop ring which is user adjustable. Undo the front brass nut/lock washer and this reveals the stop ring. Place the little finger on the ring in any of the 12 positions and this prevents the switch going past the selected position e.g place the stop ring in position 4 and you have a 4 position rotary switch, not 12.
PCB pin mounting (but can also be easily used for solder terminations)
Notice the two central pins? Only one is active (designed on the body as C for common) whereas the other is used for PCB support and has no electrical connections.
Actually the switch has clearly marked (stamped into the body) position numbers on both sides, it is very easy to locate positioning of the switch.
