Miniature PCB-mounting rotary coded switches are suitable for applications in telecomms, building automation and industrial control systems.
Knitter-Switch offers three ranges of rotary coded switches to ensure designers can find the optimum product to meet their space or mounting needs.
Miniature, subminiature and (for very high-density designs) microminiature types are available.
Mounting options include, panel, through-hole, surface-mount and side-mount.
For panel-mounting a number of types of control button are available.
The switches may be supplied in sticks or taped for automatic assembly.
Non-switching contact ratings are either 50V DC at 100mA, 24V DC at 100mA or 28V DC at 125mA, and ratings for current switching are 15V DC at 30mA or 5V DC at 100mA.
With an operating temperatures in the range of -20 to +80C operational life is estimated at a minimum of 10,000 operations.
