Detector switches suit automotive applications
Alps Electric
SPVQ4H series
With the SPVQ4H series, Alps Electric offers waterproof detector switches for automotive, industrial and home applications.
The actuator-type switches offer high contact reliability at micro-current range and an operating life of 300,000 switching cycles.
They have compact dimensions of 19 x 5.4 x 9.4mm and together with the actuator they provide a height of 18mm.
The necessary operating force accounts for 3N.
Depending on the version, the detector switches are available with two or three solder connecting wires as single-pole/double-throw or single-pole/single-throw N/O or N/C switches.
The SPVQ4H series is rated for switching currents of maximal 0.1A at 12V DC or 1mA at 5V DC respectively.
Operating temperatures range from - 40 to 85C.
Further specifications include a maximum initial contact resistance of 500mohm, an insulation resistance higher than 100Mohm at 500V DC and a voltage proof of up to 500V AC for 1min.
The SPVQ4H series complies comply with the RoHS directive and is available in minimum packing units of 720 pieces.
