APEM Components Slide Switch DPDT Side Button

The APEM Components Slide Switch is a DPDT slide switch with a side button actuator, designed for through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards. It offers On-On switching operation, allowing simultaneous control of two separate signal paths.

Overview

This 2-pole switch features a DPDT (Double Pole, Double Throw) contact configuration. Its side-mounted actuator provides a compact, space-efficient method of switching in confined designs. The switch uses silver contacts for conductivity, with a PBT housing and a glass-filled polyamide actuator and cover.

Performance Specifications

• Maximum initial contact resistance: 10 mΩ
• Minimum insulation resistance: 1000 MΩ at 500 VDC
• Electrical life: 10,000 cycles at full load
• Mechanical life: 20,000 cycles under low-level switching conditions
• Operating temperature range: -40 °C to +85 °C

Applications

The switch is suited to integration onto printed circuit boards where space is limited. Its through-hole mounting provides a secure connection during the soldering process. It is intended for applications such as control panels, test equipment, and other electronic devices.

The APEM Components Slide Switch DPDT Side Button suits designs that require a compact DPDT switch with a side-mounted actuator.
