Miniature pendulum switch

6 February 2013 Switches, Relays & Keypads

C&K Components has developed a surface-mount micro miniature pendulum detect switch for consumer electronic and harsh environment industrial applications.

A rugged combination of stainless steel base metal with silver-over-nickel plating and phosphor bronze-based contacts/terminals contributes to the robust SDP002 switch’s long lifespan and RoHS compliance. The low-profile switch is either right- or left-side actuated with low force.

The pendulum switch can withstand a voltage of 100 V a.c. for one minute and its contacts are rated at 5 V d.c., 1 mA. It has a 50 000 cycle electrical life and an operating temperature range of


-20°C to +70°C. Maximum operating force is 12,2 gf.

Manual soldering temperature may reach up to 355°C for a period of 3,5 seconds without damaging the integrity of construction. The SDP002 is supplied in tape-and-reel packaging with 4550 switches per reel. The switches are suitable for industrial control boards, including hot-swappable ATCA boards, or remote devices found in consumer electronics.
