hi all, i have never used a rotar switch so im a bit confused on how to wire it i want to switch 4 capacitos and 4 diodes on a neutrino but i cant find the right way to wire it, i see the poles are numbered by 1-12 and have some middle lugs named A-B-C so i guess there are 4 lugs per letter maybe A output have pins 1-4 to be switched, and B 5-8, and C 9-12..

am i right??

Set your multimeter to continuity.

Put the switch anywhere.

Check which lugs are connected to which other lugs.

Alternatively ... find the datasheet for the switch you bought.

Although I can't think of any rotary switches that would work differently from the way anyone could jump in here and describe, these are the things you should do to verify for yourself.
