LORIN ELECTRONICS (UK) - Rotary Switch
Made in United Kingdom (LORIN UK stamped into the switch body) - LORIN does NOT outsource it's switch production!
CK Series
Type: 12 position configurable (stop ring included)
Action: 3 pole x 4 Way
Here is a diagram of the switch action, from Lorin's datasheets
As this switch action is position configurable, it is easy to change this to a 2, 3 or 4 way switch, all with 3 poles. Perhaps I am missing something (in my thinking) but I cannot see any point in setting this as an 8 position switch (for example) because the switching sequence is simply repeated every 4 positions of rotation. Changing the switch positions is a snap, just lift and rotate the stop ring to the number of positions you require, that's it! I have the stop ring set for 4 positions at the moment.
I have confirmed this is a BBM type, break before make.

Solder tag terminations and the switch wipers are all Silver plated.
10mm mounting hole required (has a locking pin on the body too)
