Materials
CASE & BUSHING: High temperature material, glass filled nylon 4/6,
flame retardant, heat stabilized (UL 94V-0) on EP11 / EP12
models; glass filled nylon 6/6 on EP21.
PLUNGER: Thermoplastic polyester or glass filled nylon (UL 94V-0),
with internal o-ring seal. SA surface mount: High temperature
material, glass filled LCP (UL 94V-0).
SWITCH SUPPORT: Brass, matte-tin plated.
CONTACTS & TERMINALS: B contact material: Copper alloy,
with gold plate over nickel plate. See page A-13 for additional
contact materials.
TERMINAL SEAL: Epoxy.
NOTE:
Any models supplied with Q, B, P, S, R or G contact material are RoHS compliant.
NOTE:
Specifications and materials listed above are for switches with standard options.
For information on specific and custom switches, consult Customer Service Center.
CAUTION:
PC mounting layouts and pads as shown are designed to be compatible with the
latest equipment and reflow techniques. Care should be taken in the design and location of
PC lands to suit individual needs. Orientation relative to reflow direction may significantly
impact solder joint integrity.
Build-A-Switch
To order, simply select desired option from each category and place in the appropriate box. Available options are shown
and described on pages A-10 thru A-14. For additional options not shown in catalog, consult Customer Service Center. All
models are process sealed to withstand machine soldering temperatures and pressure wash cleaning methods.
