ABSTRACT:
The switch is formed on a support (8) and has light guides (24, 26, 28), a rotary part (10) carrying the intermediate light guides (30, 32) and which is able to occupy, by rotations, positions in each of which an intermediate guide connects two guides to one another, and rotary means (12 to 22) for the rotary part. The switch is formed from two semiconductor substrates, in which are defined two parts which, after superimposing and fixing the substrates to one another, form the rotary part which is then released from the remainder of the substrates.
