Series 208
Through-Hole DIP Switch
Available with SPST circuit choices
Available with low profile, standard, or extended actuator
heights. Consult the ordering information for options.
Black housing
RoHS compliant
Optional top tape seal for board spray washing
Description
The terminals are molded into the thermoset base and provide an electrostatic discharge shield rating to 22KV
when front row of terminals are connected to ground. Tin plated contact design incorporating a dimple-to-flat
surface wiping interface for contact corrosion resistance, making it the economical choice for suitable
applications.
