Configurable rotary switches: 3 pole 4 or 5 throw switches

[devize]

Dear all,

I am looking for a 3 pole 4 or 5 throw rotary switch, where 1 pole is non-interrupting and the other 2 poles are interrupting (break then make).

Looking for days now.

Any hint for me?

Best regards
Detlev

3 Pole 4 Way Rotary Switch - Micro Miniatures


Used plenty of that type of design in old tube communication receivers and other RF equipment as well as Tube tester repair.

You won't find any stock switches that have both types of contacts.

I agree with rayma. That said, you can use any rotary switch, some relays, and a micro controller (or PAL/GAL/FPGA/logic ICs) to create that functionality. Keep in mind that relays take time to switch, though, so you have to factor that into your control circuitry.

Thanks to everybody. Will go forward with a relay solution (which I wanted to avoid)
