Apem PT65-101 Rotary DIP Switch, BCD, 10-Position, 24VDC

The Apem PT65-101 is a high-quality 10-position rotary DIP switch designed for precision and reliability in demanding applications. It features a distinctive arrow-shaped slot actuator, making it easy to set and identify the switch position. The switch terminals are crafted from gold over nickel-plated bronze, ensuring excellent conductivity and long-term corrosion resistance, which is critical for maintaining signal integrity.

Constructed with a high-temperature thermoplastic base and cover rated UL94V-0, this switch is built to withstand challenging environments. Its completely sealed design offers outstanding process compatibility, protecting the internal mechanism from contaminants such as dust, moisture, and flux during soldering or cleaning operations. This makes it an ideal choice for automated assembly lines.

The switch boasts a precision-engineered detent action, providing a positive tactile feedback with each position change to prevent accidental adjustment. It offers high reliability and a long operational life, supporting settings in both clockwise and counter-clockwise directions for maximum flexibility. With an insulation resistance of 100MΩ, it ensures superior electrical isolation and stability.

As a Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) output switch, it is perfectly suited for digital input applications where decimal values need to be set manually, such as in address selection, parameter setting, or calibration. Its compact through-hole mounting design facilitates secure and permanent installation on printed circuit boards (PCBs).
