Rotary Switches Get Facelift

Phasing out the company's DR series, the FR series 10-mm DIP rotary switches retain the best characteristics of their predecessors and meet RoHS requirements. Their heat-resistant resin materials are UL94V-0 and suit lead-free solder processing applications including vapor phase and infrared convection reflow soldering for SMD options. The components are available in real or complement codes, decimal or hexadecimal configurations, and in through-hole or SMD models. Visible and easy to read legends use arrows to indicate position and color-keyed actuators identify codes. Specs include a switching rating of 100 mA at 5 Vdc and a non-switching rating of 100 mA at 50 Vdc. Optional snap-on knobs are available for screwdriver actuated models and feature a black knob with a transparent flange. NKK SWITCHES, Scottsdale, AZ. (480) 991-0942.
