Rotary Switch

Do I want make-before-break or break-before-make? Or does it not matter?

Please advise.

Thanks,

Mark

There's a nice little one by NKK that's mentioned in the build and application thread - mouser part MR A 112 A. It works very well, with seamless transitions, although I have no idea which type it is - perhaps if you look it up there'll be more info. My guess is break before make, but I could be wrong.

Thanks, sduck.

I checked the specs of that NKK and it is, as you guessed, break-before-make.

I'm looking at the Electroswitch C5P0112N-A, also break-before-make, and about half the price of the NKK, although not as tiny.

I appreciate the help.

Yep - I used the NKK, and I love it, but just about any single pole rotary will work for you I imagine.

Cheerios,
