TTI adds new switches to its Omron portfolio

The new Omron D2QW detection switch features a sliding contact mechanism that can wipe foreign bodies and contamination such as silicone out of the switch area to ensure reliable operation.

The sliding mechanism also offers silent operation.

This remarkably compact and rugged product is sealed to IP67 standard and features twin contacts to further enhance the reliability of the switch.

The D2QW has a travel of 3.7mm, plus an additional 2.2mm of over travel, simplifying system design.

The rated life of these switches is 500,000 operations at 14V DC, 10mA, or 200,000 operations at 30V DC, 100mA.

It has a footprint of 13.3 x 9.2mm and a height of 9.3mm above the M3 mounting.

Also new is the waterproof B3SL tactile switch, a compact, high-quality device featuring IP64 sealing and a rubber plunger that gives a high quality tactile feel to the operator.

Ideal for consumer white goods and computer peripherals, these switches are just 6.2mm square and 5.1mm high.

The B3SL is suitable for wave soldering.

Omron has extended its range of DIP switches with a new range of piano-type components, in surface mount and through hole form.

The devices are ideal for telecommunications applications, set-top boxes and industrial systems.

Based on an industry-standard 2.54mm pitch, Omron's new DIP switches feature a self-cleaning structure with gold twin contacts for maximum reliability.

Both the surface mount (A6SR) and through hole (A6TR) formats are offered in two, four, six, eight and 10 pole configurations, with a choice of two operating lever lengths.

The new piano style complements the existing Omron range of slide DIP switches, offered with 1-10 poles, again with gold-plated contacts and a self-cleaning mechanism.

Omron also offers rotary (A6R, A6A and A6V) DIP switches.

All Omron DIP switches conform to RoHS regulations and are supplied on sticks for automatic placement.

The slide switches are available in washable form with a seal tape.
