Rotary Switches and Mechanical Encoders Slide 3

The detent system of a rotary switch provides an operator with a positive indication of rotation from one switch position to the next. Without it there would be a tendency to rotate the moving contact past the desired switch position terminal. The angle of throw is the amount of shaft rotation between adjacent switch position terminals.
