Abstract
A miniature rotary switch having nested terminals in its bottom wall, and a disc shaped movable contact element arranged in a rotatable member such that a portion of the disc periphery rolls and slides across fixed contacts defined by the upper ends of these terminals. The rotatable member is restrained from movement axially in a cylindrical chamber defined for it by either a one piece housing, or in a key switch version by a two piece housing.
