Abstract

See full text

The panel mounted low profile rotary switch (170, 300) includes a knob (175, 210, 305), a detent subassembly (180, 220), a shaft (255, 365), a bushing (185, 260, 355) and a panel (197). The knob is simply held to the shaft by one or more locking screws (177) and the operation of the detent sub-assembly is not altered by removal of the knob. The entire detent sub-assembly is located on the knob side or user's side of the panel. Only the bushing and the shaft extend through the panel. The shaft is connected to a rotary component such as a rotary switch contact (265, 372) which engages circuitry on a printed circuit board (374). The switch or electrical connection is located on or juxtaposed to the undersurface of the panel
