ROTATABLE ELECTRICAL CONTACT COMPONENT WITH DETENT Abstract of the Disclosure A three piece rotatable electrical contact component for printed circuit board applications, wherein a rotatable contact of the component engages electrical circuitry on a printed circuit board, is disclosed. The component consists of a generally circular contact element, a contact carrying rotor which is mounted to be rotatable in the printed circuit board, and to which said circular contact element is secured, and a ring-shaped stop member which snaps over the contact carrying rotor and is secured to the printed circuit board so as to be non-rotatable. The rotor, in addition, has a number of arcuate detent grooves formed around its periphery to provide a plurality of detent locations. The stop member has a flexible post that is located in a hole in the printed cir- cuit board which is shaped so that rotational movement of the stop mem- ber is prevented, but so that the stop member is free to transversely flex and thereby cooperate with the detent grooves of the rotor to pro- vide the desired detent action.
