D Series Miniature Snap-in Power Rocker Switches Datasheet

Category: CK Components, Electronics, Switches

Overview

The datasheet presents the “D Series Miniature Snap-in Power Rocker Switches,” which are suitable for small appliances, computers and peripherals, and medical instrumentation. These switches come with various features that include momentary and maintained models, PC and quick connect terminals, and a recessed bracket that prevents accidental actuation. They are also RoHS compliant.

Specifications

The switches have different contact ratings based on the model. The D1OX and DZOX models support 4 AMPS at 125 V AC or 2 AMPS at 250 V AC, while the DSOX and DGOX models are rated for 10 AMPS at 125 V AC or 5 AMPS at 250 V AC. The electrical life expectancy for these switches is 10,000 make-and-break cycles at full load. An insulation resistance of at least 10^9 ohms and a dielectric strength of 1,000 Vrms minimum at sea level are also specified.

Materials

The switches utilize a 6/6 nylon (UL 94V-2) actuator and housing with a matte black finish. Depending on the model, the movable contacts are made from copper or coin silver, both silver-plated. Stationary contacts and terminals are created from silver-plated copper or brass. The contact spring can be music wire or stainless steel. The operating temperature range for these components is from -30°C to +65°C.

Customization Options

The “Build-A-Switch” section outlines how to order customized switches by selecting from a variety of options, such as switch function, actuator type, actuator color, mounting style, terminations, and contact materials. Detailed ordering instructions along with contact and termination options can be referred to on pages G-62 through G-65 of the full datasheet.

Models and Features

Available switch functions range from single-pole double-throw (SPDT) to double-pole single-throw (DPST) with both momentary and maintained operations. Actuator types include rocker and lever, with color choices for both the actuator and mounting styles. Termination types include quick connect, PC thru-hole, and twisted quick connect, among others. Actuator markings and contact material specifics are also detailed, providing comprehensive customization.

Additional Details

Part number examples such as D101J12S215QA and D201J12S215QA are shown to illustrate how different configurations yield unique part numbers. Moreover, all specifications and materials referenced pertain to standard switches, with the suggestion to consult the Customer Service Center for special or custom switches.

For more detailed information, such as dimensions, schematic diagrams, and extensive model-specific data, the reader is directed to consult the subsequent pages of the datasheet or visit the manufacturer’s website.

Note that specifications and dimensions are subject to change. The datasheet emphasizes the switch functions along with the NO (normally open) and NC (normally closed) configurations for various models, providing essential information for design and application considerations.
