NKK Switches Ultra-Thin Rocker GW22LBV

The GW series ultra-thin rockers are low-voltage, low-current logic-level switches designed for high-density PCB mounting in handheld equipment. The switch has a 28° throw, 1.70N nominal operating force for rockers, and SPDT or DPDT circuit options with 2.54mm x 2.54mm terminal spacing. The actuator, case, and base are glass fiber reinforced polyamide (UL94V-0), with phosphor bronze contacts gold-plated and a nitrile butadiene rubber sealing ring. Maximum contact resistance is 80 milliohms, insulation resistance is 500 megohms minimum at 500V DC, and dielectric strength is 500V AC for 1 minute. Mechanical and electrical life is rated at 50,000 operations minimum. Operating temperature ranges from -30°C to +85°C. The GW22LBV is a double-pole, ON-NONE-ON circuit variant with a paddle actuator and vertical PC terminals, consistent with the series specifications.
