ERG COMPONENTS 4-Pole 2-Way DIL Switch

The ERG COMPONENTS DS16C4-2 DIL Switch provides a reliable and robust interface for circuit configuration in demanding electronic applications. This 4-pole, single-throw DIP switch features a through-hole mounting style and a distinctive rocker actuator, offering a positive tactile feel during operation.

A key feature for long-term reliability is the hinged transparent dust cover, which shields the internal contacts from environmental contaminants. This, combined with recessed actuators, effectively prevents accidental setting changes, ensuring your circuit configuration remains secure.

The switch utilises 1µm hard gold-plated wiping contacts, specifically designed for reliable performance in low-level signal circuits. This construction minimises contact resistance and ensures stable electrical characteristics over the product's lifecycle. It is rated for a mechanical life of 1000 cycles and features a typical maximum initial contact resistance of just 30mΩ at 10mA, providing excellent signal integrity.

For clear identification, the switch is equipped with large numerals and coloured actuators, allowing for quick and error-free setting even in complex assemblies. Its compact dimensions make it suitable for densely packed PCBs without sacrificing usability.

Built to industrial standards, this unlinked-style switch is an ideal component for prototyping, test equipment, and permanent installations where dependable manual circuit selection is required. Its durable construction and protective features make it a trusted choice for engineers and technicians.
