Description
SWITCH, ROTARY W/WIRES
Rotary switches are used to connect a functional circuit within a device to a source of electricity. The electrical charge enters the switch and is then directed to whichever circuit is currently selected by the switch.
Rotary switches provide a robust, mechanical control system with immediate tactile feedback, in contrast to software-based systems such as touch screens. In some settings, software errors could be hazardous or cause significant issues.
