A proximity switch assembly is provided which has a base with a longitudinal axis. A sensing coil is mounted on the distal end of a probe on a front axial end of the base, and the base is adapted to be mounted to a machine which has a moving part, the position of which relative to the sensing coil is to be determined by the proximity switch. An electrical cable connector is rotatably mounted on the base and may be rotated into a plurality of positions around the axis. Conductors extend between the sensing coil and the electrical cable connector, and at least part are deformed spirally to permit rotation of the cable connector. A series of teeth are on the base and a locking spring moves into engagement with any of the teeth to establish the plurality of locked rotational positions.
