I'm looking for the part number of the rotary switches normally used with the 737 Overhead or MIP. I fould my old Mouser order for the Carling switches, but can't find the one for the Lorin or whatever brand rotaries that I bought.
Need to source a couple to see if they will work (spacing) in my F16 panels before I bulk order for 737 and F16.
Thanks for any help
What kind of rotary switch is it?
Is it a rotary selector switch, or a rotary encoder?
If it is a rotary selector switch, how many positions, and what is the angle between switch positions?
If it is a rotary encoder, how many detents per revolution? Does it need a pushbutton on the shaft itself?
I have found a couple of different switches on AliExpress that I think might be suitable.
If it's Lorlin you probably want a clone. Look for RS26 on AliExpress. You'll get something like this:

They have 12 positions (30 degrees between positions) with an adjustable stop. Available in 1P12T, 2P6T, 3P4T and 4P3T variants.
