Product Overview

The CVS series slide switches feature an industry-first ultra-thin profile with a mounting height of 1.45 mm and a fine terminal pitch of 1 mm. Available in 1 to 8 bits configurations, these switches offer compact size and improved operability with a knob height of 0.2 mm. They comply with RoHS directives.

Features

• RoHS compliant
• Lowest profile design at 1.45 mm mounting height
• Terminal pitch of 1 mm, first in the industry
• Knob height of 0.2 mm for easy operation

Materials and Construction

The switch components use high-quality materials such as stainless steel with gold plating for contacts and copper alloy terminals. Housing is made from polyamide (PA) and polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) with UL94V-0 flammability rating.
