DESCRIPTION
A spring return rotary switch has 1 or more momentary positions. Maintaining contact at momentary
positions requires rotational force. Releasing the force allows the mechanism to return the contact
to a normal, or detent, position.

CONFIGURATIONS
This configuration indicates a counterclockwise
force is required to hold the switch at position
#1. “M” indicates a momentary position
counterclockwise of “D” and "D", detented ones.
Positions 1 2 3
Releasing this force breaks contact with position
#1 and returns the switch to #2. Normal rotary
switch detent action occurs when the switch is
rotated between position #2 and #3.
All of the configurations (except
basic 2 position arrangement which is shown in
italics. Example: MDDDDD or DDDDDM. Several
positions can be added during the switch
construction at the factory; but, any configuration
must always contain the 2 basic positions.

SELECTING A SWITCH
1. Select a Configuration: The total number of
positions always includes the 2 basic positions.
A (4) position switch of DDDDM configuration
would have 3 detent positions counterclockwise
of the momentary position.
2. Select Series, Angle of Throw, and Style:
See the Choices Chart. The basic switch
description, series, and throw are as follows:
1
/2", 1/4 Amp, multi-deck 08 = 36° 09 = 30°
1", 1 Amp, multi-deck 42 = 36° 44 = 30°
1
/2", 200 mA, single deck 50 = 36°
Electrical ratings are the same as those of the
conventional switches with the exception of life.
Life is limited to 10,000 cycles of operation
(25,000 cycles for Series 50) due to the spring
arrangement. Dimensions are the same as for
No. of Dim.
