This is a new-old-stock Painton Winkler rotary switch. It has two wafers with 1 pole each.
The number of poles, wafers and positions are shown in the title. The switch is configured for 'break before make’ but can be configured for 'make before break’ by connecting adjacent contacts.
The number of positions can be changed by disassembling the switch, adjusting the stop, and then re-assembling it.
The dimensions are - 55mm at the widest point, 72mm tall (of which the shaft is 16mm)
It is NOT supplied with a knob. It has a standard 1/4 inch (6.3mm) shaft. All previous wiring has been removed. It is not supplied with any mounting hardware.
Please check the title and pictures carefully to see if this is suitable for your application before purchasing. Please double-check the number of positions you need and also the physical dimensions.
I have a number of similar switches in different configerations, check my other items.
I do not know the maximum current rating of this item.
All measurements given are approximate.
Glossary:-
Poles - The number of electrical inputs per wafer
Position - The number of physical notched output positions of the shaft PER WAFER that the shaft can be turned to (if this can be adjusted by means of moving the stop, this will be mentioned above). In order to obtain the total number of different contact combinations per wafer, multiply the number of positions by the number of poles.
