Rotary switch

A rotary switch comprising:

• a rotation movable portion;
• a movable conductor held in rotation movable portion;
• a base portion;
• a power supply terminal held in the base portion;
• and
• a plurality of fixed contacts held in the base portion,
• wherein the fixed contact and the power supply terminal are connected and disconnected via the movable conductor by a rotational operation of the rotation movable portion,
• wherein the power supply terminal is disposed at a rotation center position of the rotation movable portion,
• wherein the plurality of fixed contacts are disposed at positions where the shortest distances from a rotation center of the rotation movable portion are different,
• wherein when the movable conductor and the plurality of fixed contacts are in contact with each other, switching is ON, when the movable conductor and the plurality of fixed contacts are separated from each other, switching is OFF,
• wherein the movable conductor includes a power supply contact in pressed contact with the power supply terminal at one end portion and a single movable contact at the other end portion, and
• wherein the shortest distances are distances between each of the fixed contacts and the rotation center of the rotation movable portion.
