C&K Components Dip / Rotary Dip Rohs Compliant C&k Components BPA03B

The C&K Components BPA Series Side Actuated DIP Switches, specifically part number 34AH6839, are designed for various applications including address switching for industrial controls and logic switching for computers. These switches are available in multiple positions ranging from 1 to 12 and can be configured for both thru-hole and surface mount technology (SMT). The contact rating is 100 mA maximum at 5 V DC or 25 mA maximum at 24 V DC, with a mechanical and electrical life of at least 1,000 cycles at 5 V DC and 10 mA. The initial contact resistance is specified at a maximum of 50 milliohms, and the insulation resistance is a minimum of 100 megohms at 100 V DC. The switches can withstand a dielectric voltage of 300 V AC for one minute. Operating temperatures range from -20¬8C to 85¬8C, and the switches are RoHS compliant. They feature a high-pressure contact system that does not require tape sealing for washing, making them suitable for environments where cleaning is necessary. The switches are packaged in rigid dispensing tubes, with quantities varying by model, and tape and reel packaging is available for SMT options. Engineers considering this product should evaluate its specifications against their project requirements, particularly in terms of electrical ratings, environmental conditions, and packaging needs.
