A Series 1-4 Pole Rotary Switches Datasheet

Category: CK Components, Electronics, Switches

Overview of A Series 1-4 Pole Rotary Switches

The A Series 1-4 Pole Rotary Switches are designed for a variety of applications including automotive, major and small appliances, and industrial equipment. These switches are noted for their versatility, demonstrated by multiple poles and positions, a noticeable detent for position indication, options for shorting and non-shorting contacts, and configurations for both panel and PCB mounting. They also comply with the RoHS directive which restricts the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.

Features and Benefits

Key features of these rotary switches include:

Multiple pole and position configurations
Positive detent mechanism for reliable switching
Options for shorting (make-before-break) and non-shorting (break-before-make) contacts
Designed for both panel and PCB mounting for flexibility in design
Compliance with RoHS regulations for environmental safety

Technical Specifications

The datasheet provides detailed information on the technical specifications for the A Series switches, including:

Contact ratings for different models and configurations
Electrical life span based on make-and-break cycles and detent operations
Contact resistance and insulation resistance specifications
Dielectric strength and operating/storage temperature ranges

Additionally, the material construction is offered, with components made from glass filled 6/6 nylon that meets UL 94V-0 standards, stationery contacts and terminals made from silver-plated brass, and various hardware options like nickel-plated nuts and zinc plated lockwashers. For switches with standard options, specifications and materials are mentioned, but customization is supported via consultation with the Customer Service Center.

Ordering and Customization

Customizing and ordering rotary switches are facilitated through a ‘Build-A-Switch’ system. Customers can select desired options from categories including switch function, terminal type, actuator, mounting style, contact material, and seal options. Detailed choices are further explained in subsequent pages of the datasheet (pages K-4 through K-7). For more specific or custom switches, customers are directed to consult the Customer Service Center. Relevant diagrams and schematics provide visual aid for various models and configurations.

Note that all specifications and dimensions are subject to change, emphasizing the importance of consulting with the manufacturer for the latest information.
