Taiss 3pcs Rotary Switch RS26 4P3T 4 Pole Position 3 Selectable Band Rotary Channel Selector Switch Single Deck Rotary Switch Band Selector + 3pcs knob

Nice enough for my hobby projects. Rotating the knob is a little stiff compared to some others I’ve tried. And the lugs don’t have an eyelet to loop the wire into before soldering. Having said that…they are functional and reasonably priced…and come complete with a knob.

These are small enough to fit is a tight space. I was especially looking for a nine position rotary and the drop in clip allows this switch to be configured as a 2 to 12 position single pole. To set the limit clip, first rotate full CCW, then select the desired number of positions, drop the tab on the clip into the marked slot (number is on the left of the slot) and add the lockwasher and nut. If you do not rotate full CCW first you can get trapped on the CW side of the limit clip.

I was looking everywhere to find different types of rotary switches that I needed for a project, finally found these that are amazing! you can configure them the way you need. Really a bright idea in this design.Well designed, well constructed and at reasonable price.Highly recommended.

This is a 12-position rotary switch that turns in a full circle -- 30 degrees per position. I used it to provide power to one track at a time around a model railroad turntable. If you don't need a full circle with 12 positions, it comes with a limiting washer that can stop the arc at 2-11 positions. Easy to mount on a 1/8" panel with included nut & lock washer. Pins for the power wire and the output poles accept standard Dupont pins so you don't need to solder the connections and can vary the poles you connect to easily.

All I needed was the tabbed washer for my DSP5 switch. It was a perfect match and way cheaper than anywhere else!!! 10/10

Rotary switches are not generally cheap. These are functional , economical decent design with one flaw.The little plastic tabs that hold the two sections together are not very strong and the switch can come apart if handled roughly. I solved this by placing a small amount of epoxy glue on each tab so they do not release when under pressure. They worked fine for me.

My project is to mechanically couple this to a small servo. But the amount of force to move the switch is very high. When the nob is in place it should not be an issue for someone using their finger. Also, no matter where I look I can't find the current rating of the switch. Otherwise the esthetics is good, and it has all the mounting pins, washers, and a good sturdy knob. The switch casing is of plastic, and makes me think that if too much current/solder heat would melt.

These are not 4P3T switches, though I am not even sure what I would call them. There are 4 poles, but 12 throws. But, only 1 pole is active per throw, so only 1 pole circuit is being used in each position. Instead of having 3 switch positions, where center pins A-B-C-D each map to 3 output pins (you know, every real 4P3T switch in the world), there are 12 switch positions. This means, it is more like having 4 independent switches in 1 body, where only 1 switch can be activated at a time. I cant even think of a use for these unless I just route the 4 poles together and then I have a 1P12T switch (maybe time to make that discrete EQ I've been think about, hmmmm). For those interested in the mapping:Pos 1: Pin A to Pin 1 closed, all contacts openPos 2 : Pin A to Pin 2 closed, all others contacts openPos 3 : Pin A to Pin 3 closed, all others contacts openPos 4 : Pin B to Pin 4 closed, all others contacts openPos 5 : Pin B to Pin 5 closed, all others contacts openPos 6 : Pin B to Pin 6 closed, all others contacts openPos 7 : Pin C to Pin 7 closed, all others contacts openPos 8 : Pin C to Pin 8 closed, all others contacts openPos 9 : Pin C to Pin 9 closed, all others contacts openPos 10 : Pin D to Pin 10 closed, all others contacts openPos 11: Pin D to Pin 11 closed, all others contacts openPos 12 : Pin D to Pin 12 closed, all others contacts openThe fact these are listed as 4P3T is blatantly false, even though there are 4 poles inside the switch, the best description I can think if is 1P12T, since no poles can be activated at the same time.
