Ultra-miniature, half pitch, side-actuated DIP switch developed

16 April 2008

Designated the TDP Series, the half pitch switch from C&K features a dual bifurcated wiping action that ensures reliable contact.

When mounted horizontally, the side-actuation mechanism provides visual confirmation of the on/off status. Additional applications for the TDP Series DIP switches include electronic cash registers and ATMs, automated warehouse delivery systems, hand-held electrical devices, portable computer and electronic devices, and instrumentation and controls.

The TDP Series DIP switches measure 4.16mm above the PC board and feature a 1.28mm layout pitch. Process-sealed for surface mount wash processing, the RoHS-compatible devices feature gold over nickel over copper alloy contacts and a UL 94V-0 PPS flame retardant housing. The switches are rated for 24VDC, 25mA (switching) and 50VDC, 100mA (steady state) operation and feature life cycles to 1,000 rotations (make and break) at full load. Operating temperature range is -20°C to +85°C.

The new switch is available at Rutronik now.
