ALPS ALPINE 2-Pole Momentary Pushbutton PCB Switch

The ALPS ALPINE SPUN Series 2-pole momentary pushbutton switch is designed for printed circuit board (PCB) integration, offering reliable performance for electronic controls. This large-sized horizontal switch features a non-shorting changeover timing mechanism, ensuring stable contact during operation and preventing short circuits when switching between positions.

With a lever height of 6.5mm from the PCB mounting surface, it provides a comfortable actuation point. It supports momentary operation, meaning the switch returns to its default position when pressure is released, making it ideal for applications requiring temporary circuit activation. The straight PC pin terminals are suited for secure through-hole soldering.

Key Features & Performance

This DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) switch is capable of controlling multiple circuits simultaneously. It delivers consistent performance with an operating force of 2N (±1N) and a total travel distance of 3.5mm. The contact resistance is impressively low, rated at a maximum of 20mΩ for initial performance and 40mΩ after its operational lifetime.

Constructed for durability and precision, it is rated for a maximum contact current of 100mA DC and a nominal contact voltage of 30V DC. The square pushbutton actuator provides a clear, defined press. Standard knobs are available for customisation, allowing for flexibility in panel design and user interface.

Applications & Specifications

Primarily designed for consumer electronics, this versatile switch is perfect for control panels, interface boards, and other electronic devices where dependable momentary switching is required. Its through-hole mounting ensures a strong mechanical and electrical connection to the PCB.
