The space saving design makes the 6M suitable for a wide range of applications from hand-held instrumentation to a variety of portable devices in test and measurement and consumer products.
Technical features include: flush or raised actuation; initial contact resistance of 50 mΩ max; mechanical life of 20,000 cycles; insulation resistance 1,000MΩ minimum, dielectric breakdown strength of 1000Vrms@sea level; and an operating temperature range of -40degC to +80degC. Minimum load and breaking capacity is dependent on which of the six contact material combinations is selected. The 6M data sheet details process requirements for lead-free soldering using manual, wave and vapour-phase techniques.
Claire Childs, Live Electronics MD commented, “6M slide switches from Dailywell are light in weight, and as they are RoHS process compliant are suitable for most applications.”
