Next-Generation DIP Switches

TE Connectivity’s (TE) ALCOSWITCH ADE and ADF series next-generation DIP switches are designed for space-saving and streamlined manufacturing with high contact pressure, allowing for aqueous cleaning without the need for tape sealing. The series are available in through-hole and surface-mount options. Style of actuators are based on series; ADE with extended actuators, and ADF with flush actuators. Both series are available in tube as well as tape/reel packaging options.

Features

• Raised (extended) or recessed (flush) for design flexibility
• Through-hole and surface-mounted
• Extremely high contact pressure system allows aqueous or solvent cleaning without tape seal
• Gold contact plating for high reliability and corrosion resistance
• Tape-and-reel packaging available for quick pick-and-place assembly

Benefits

• Better space management due to low-profile design; 30% smaller in size compared to conventional dip switches available in the market
• Sliding-type contact ensures better performance and higher reliability when compared to conventional seesaw-type contacts
