Aug 28, 2014 at 15:23 comment added Warren Hill I'd be tempted to just use six normally open relays tie the input to one side of all six relays and take the the outputs from the other side of each relay. Now all you have to do is switch the relay making sure each time you switch you first ensure all relays open before you close the one you want. You can make them switch in sequence if you want or just switch directly the one you want.
Aug 28, 2014 at 15:15 comment added Diziet Asahi @WarrenHill I want to switch one input to six outputs, the current rotary switch can be completely removed from the circuit

Aug 28, 2014 at 15:00 comment added Wouter van Ooijen Six single-pole single-throw normally-open (reed) relays would be an option.
Aug 28, 2014 at 14:56 comment added Warren Hill Are you looking for a way to physically rotate this switch in which case you are looking for a stepper motor or are you just looking for a way to switch one input (output) to one of six outputs (inputs)?
Aug 28, 2014 at 14:54 comment added Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams This could possibly be replaced by MOSFETs, if it's just a signaling system instead of carrying actual power. But we'd need to know more about the circuit.
Aug 28, 2014 at 14:49 comment added Diziet Asahi DC voltage 0-99V, low current (<10mA)
Aug 28, 2014 at 14:48 comment added Andy aka i.e. what sort of signal or power, volts and current.
Aug 28, 2014 at 14:44 comment added Vladimir Cravero what is the rotary switch switching?
