ON-OFF (Type B) and OFF-ON (Type C) versions are available. They are pick-and-place compatible and withstand soldering temperatures up to 260 °C. The switches are not washable. The operating temperature range is -20 to +85 °C. The CL-DA series is designed for applications in telecommunications (ATCA, µ-TCA) and audiovisual equipment, industrial systems, safety devices, etc.
Low-profile switches for industrial applications
Copal Electronics has added the CL-DA series (detect switches) to its portfolio. The side-activated switches have a very low profile (only 2 mm high) and are fully RoHS/WEEE compliant (lead-free soldering). The gold contacts guarantee maximum reliability at a maximum contact resistance of 100 mOhm and a minimum damping/insulation resistance of 100 mOhm at 100 VDC. The switches are rated at 12 VDC (100 mA) max. and 20 mVDC (1 µA) min. Switch travel is 2.35 mm. The mechanical and electrical life is listed as 50,000 cycles.
