Rotatable shaft position indicator

A rotary shaft position indicating switch assembly, comprising:

• (a) a housing have a base with male threads, a cover having a base with female threads wherein the cover base has a thickness greater than any other portion of the cover to ensure a secure connection between the housing base and the cover base, said housing and said cover when coupled defining a hollow sealed chamber;
• (b) an actuator shaft journaled for rotation in the housing base and extending through the housing base into the sealed chamber;
• (c) at least one electromechanical actuating element mounted on said actuator shaft;
• (d) a terminal strip within the chamber electrically coupled to the at least one electromechanical actuating element;
• (e) a frusto-conical member having graphics information viewable through a window area;
• and
• (f) an insert located within the housing base for electrical grounding.
