Ultra-miniature slide switches features top or side actuation permits flexible board design. Bright and uniform illumination in models with LED in actuator. Compact dimensions and low profile allow high density mounting and close stacking of PC boards. Crisp actuation positively indicates circuit status. Heat-resistant resin used for surface mount models allows vapor phase and infrared reflow soldering. Double molded moset base and thermoplastic housing for through-hole models prevent loosening of terminals due to high soldering temperatures. Sliding twin contact mechanism with self-cleaning action provides smooth actuation and produces high contact reliability. Insert molded terminals lock out flux, solvents, and other contaminants. Inch or metric terminal spacing for standard PC board grid (.100" x .100" or 2.0mm x 2.0mm).
