C & K has released its smallest-diameter rotary switch series, providing design engineers with a switching option that reduces board space by 50%. The new RM series single-pole rotary switches are available in 2 to 8 positions, with an ultra-small body diameter of 9.2mm and gold-plated contacts, ensuring reliable operation.
The new RM series rotary switches are well-suited for next-generation building automation systems, including lighting and fan control, test and measurement equipment, and telecommunications and radio systems, providing economical ultra-compact solutions for applications requiring reliable multi-position switches. Positive locator that provides tactile feedback.
"The new RM series switches have the smallest footprint of any rotary switch we produce," said Paul DiLorenzo, global product manager at C & K; K Components. The application provides the lowest cost rotary switch solution. "
The space-saving RM series switches can be used as unipolar rotary switches with 2 to 8 positions, equipped with an extension shaft with one of two standard knob options or a recessed actuator with a screwdriver slot for adjustment. Gold-plated contacts provide a reliable switching operating life of 2,000 cycles with an operating force of 270 +/- 100gf cm. RM series contacts have a rated current of 0.5A at 24VDC, 0.2A at 48VDC, an insulation resistance of 500VDC at 100Mohm, and an insulation strength of 500VAC per minute. This series has an operating temperature range of -40 ° C to 85C. The RM series switches also feature insert-molded terminals to prevent contamination during soldering.
