COMCA6

6mm Rotary Switch is available in carbon technology. Ingress Protection rating type IP 54 according to IEC60529. Plastic materials can be self-extinguishable according to UL 94 V-0 under request.

Models available are the same as CA6 series

Through-hole and SMD configurations are available. Terminals and collector are normally manufactured in tinned brass, although versions with steel terminals are also available under request. Terminals for through-hole models can be provided straight or crimped, which helps hold the component to the PCB during soldering.

Thumbwheels and shafts can be provided either separately or already inserted in the switch.

ACP’s Rotary switches are based on the design of the potentiometers: they have one input and two possible outputs. The commuting angle between outputs can be customized.

Applications:
– Dimmers.
– Telecommunications (antenna control).
