Apr 22, 2003 EAO, the expert in Human Machine Interfaces, introduces the 1K2, a superior quality changeover slide switch recommended for PCB configuration applications. The products is recommended for PCB configuration applications and occupies a board space measuring only 10mm x 2.5mm with a height of 4.5mm excluding actuator.
It is available with 2.54mm pitch pins allowing end-to-end or side-by-side stacking on 2.54mm pitch board.
Straight or 90deg versions are available.
The 1K2 is offered as a single-pole-single-throw version, with a choice of two heights of actuator - standard or raised.
The raised actuator version makes it suitable for through-panel operation and the switch offers a clear tactile feedback when operated.
The contact material is gold-plated nickel, with a tropicalised version, including extra gold plating for operation in saline or damp conditions; it will operate in extremes of temperature, from -40degC to +85degC.
The 1K2 has a contact power rating of 6W and is capable of switching 24V maximum; the contact resistance is <22mOhms.
Lifetime at nominal rating is 1000 operations or 10000 mechanical operations.
The 1K2 has a fully sealed base making these switches compatible with solvent cleaning.
Typical applications include jumper replacement, circuit testing, on / off switch, factory setting and board configuration.
