Multicomp Pro 10 Position Rotary Coded Switch, Decimal, 24V DC, 25mA

The Multicomp Pro 10 Position Rotary Coded Switch is a versatile BCD (Binary Coded Decimal) rotary switch designed for reliable address setting, configuration, and parameter selection in electronic systems. By rotating the dial to one of its ten distinct positions, users can set precise binary or hexadecimal codes, making it an essential component for industrial equipment, power supplies, safety relays, and automation process control. Its robust design ensures dependable performance in demanding environments.

This surface-mount device (SMD) features a high-quality construction with a stainless steel cover and spring plate for enhanced durability. The actuator is made from high-temperature thermoplastic LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer), providing excellent thermal stability. Critical contact points, including the gold-plated copper alloy contacts and gold-plated phosphor bronze terminals, ensure minimal signal degradation and reliable electrical connectivity over thousands of cycles. The switch offers a choice between flush and raised actuator styles to suit different panel mounting requirements.
