Rotary wafer switches (low current rating). Part 6 : Rotary wafer switches with printed wafers; maximum 12 positions; maximum mounting dimension 45 mm

This document defines technical specifications for rotary switches characterized by rotating vanes designed for low current applications. It specifically addresses configurations incorporating printed circuit switch elements, limiting the maximum number of operational positions to twelve. The design constraints ensure that the overall installation dimensions do not exceed 45 millimeters, facilitating compact integration into various electrical systems. The text outlines required performance criteria, material properties, and dimensional tolerances to guarantee safety and interoperability. Procedures for testing and verification are established to ensure components meet the defined mechanical and electrical requirements. This specification aims to harmonize manufacturing standards across different regions, enabling consistent quality in production. It covers aspects related to the construction of the switch mechanism and the electrical contacts, providing a baseline for engineers and manufacturers to follow when designing or assembling such devices. The guidelines serve as a reference for ensuring that the final products function reliably under intended operating conditions without compromising safety or performance.
