Title: Rotary Switches (Part number request)
Post by: jskibo on December 03, 2019, 08:53:04 AM
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.
