Rotary coding switches
Knitter Switch has introduced a series of rotary coding switches for designers of industrial and building automation systems and measuring instruments.
They are washable, rated to IP67 and provide a contact breaking capacity of 100mA at 42V.
The DRS/SMR 15000/16000 series of rotary coding switches are available with a PCB space-saving body measuring 7mm x 7mm and offer surface mount and through-hole mounting versions.
Both designs can be reflow soldered.
A surface-mount version is supplied in T/R packing for pick and place assembly systems and also available with a shaft.
Operating temperature range is -50C to +125C.
Coding options include BCD 10 position and hexadecimal 16 positions, each available with both real and inverse (complement) coding.
The switches are available from a number of distributors throughout Europe.
