Abstract: A rotary switch is provided having a manually engageable control to which is attached an arm carrying a number of switch contact fingers for rotational motion with the control. A printed circuit board has concentric circular arrays of contact pads each of which are contacted by one of the finger contacts on the rotating arm. The outer array of contact pads are connected together and are located in a position counterclockwise from the center array of contact pads which are also connected together. The inner array of contact pads are also connected together and are located in a position clockwise from the array of center contact pads. An innermost continuous contact strip is provided for contact by one of the contact fingers. The contact fingers are electrically common and provide a repeated contact sequence for outer, center and inner contact pad sliding connections for a clockwise rotation of the manual control.
