DIP Switches Offer A Variety Of Configurations

The company's five new DIP switch offerings are designed to either compliment or replace existing products and offer a wide choice of styles that include half-pitch devices, low-profile units, side-actuated devices, SIP styles, and 10-mm coded rotary switches. The TDA series is said to take up half the space of older style DIPs and offer improved sealing by using removable Kapton tape.
The SDA switches feature a high-pressure, gas-tight contact system that does not require tape sealing. Side-actuated switches, the BPA series, use the same high-pressure system and feature long actuators that act as a lever on the contact. The CRD series 10-mm rotary coded switches are available in through-hole and surface-mount models. The SP series is claimed to consume half the board space of equivalent DIP switches and are available in vertical or right-angled, through-hole versions in 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 positions.
