A shorting contact is also known as “make before break” and describes the action of the contact as you select your switch positions. The switch will momentarily “short position 1 and 2 together when you rotate from position 1 over to position 2. A non-shorting contact is also known as” break before make”. The connection is momentarily broken when you rotate from position 1 over to position 2.
