Use a 2 pole rotary switch to give you the combinations, and use
diodes
for the selection of any 2 switches or any one.. or all in series.
basically, just tie them all in series.. and use diodes to select
the pairs.
The diode will prevent back feed to other combinations.
The circuit will have to be DC.
This was a reply that I received in regards to my original question
below. The problem is I;m not quite sure how to set it up. Can anyone
show it on a schematic? Thank you for your time
Original Question
Can anyone recommend a rotary switch, transistors, Ic's, or any
component that may work for the following situation?
I have three momentary switches in series (two mercury and one reed).
What I would like to do is to be able to have the ability to allow
any
one switch work alone, any combination to allow 2 to work in series,
and all three to work in series as they are now? II have limited
space
and would like to use the lowest profile component possible. I have
minimal experience with the different type of components, but have
time and a willingness to learn.
