Filtered inlets handle more power
IEC inlet filter features a two-stage construction, HF screening and high-quality components, making it ideal for noise attenuation up to 1GHz.
Typical areas of application include lighting systems, computers, vending machines and various industrial and telecommunications segments.
Contacts are rated at 100mA at 50V DC for non-switching and 25mA at 24V DC for switching.
The moving contact is gold over nickel over copper alloy and the fixed contact is gold over copper alloy.
Terminals are tin-lead over nickel-plating, while the base and cover materials are PPS.
The actuator is made of high-temperature polyester.
Typical performance characteristics include life expectancy of 1000 cycles, operating force of 60 to 600g, and an initial maximum contact resistance of 100mohm.
Operating temperature is -30 to +85C.
GDH series switches are surface-mount compatible and are available packaged in tubes or on tape and reel.
Consequently, the switches are vacuum pick and place compatible and withstand wave soldering to 245C for 3-5s and a heat deflection temperature of 260C. Request a free brochure from Tyco Electronics UK ...
