Series 206/208
Through-Hole DIP Switch
Available with SPST, SPDT, DPST, 3PST circuit choices
Available with low profile, standard, or extended actuator heights.
Consult the ordering information for options.
RoHS compliant
Optional top tape seal for board spray washing
Description
The terminals are molded into the thermoset base and provide an electrostatic discharge shield rating to 22KV
when the OFF side terminals are connected to ground. The optimized contact design incorporating a dimple-to-
flat surface wiping interface provides long-term contact corrosion resistance making this the ideal choice for any
HVAC, server, or security system.
