Toggles
Available with super bright red/green or amber/blue bicolor
LED or RGB LED. The RGB LED full color spectrum in a
switch package provides unlimited color combinations.
Unique actuation guide gives positive indication
of circuit transfer as well as smooth and silent
operation.
Choices of tactile, nontactile or tactile/audible
actuation.
Compact design with height of .906” (23.0mm)
from PC board to top of cap. (Same height as
programmable SmartSwitch™.)
Flat, sculptured or home key square caps in three
common sizes for design flexibility in audio/video
applications.
Twin contacts with gold plating assure high reliability
and long life of 5,000,000 operations minimum.

If the source voltage
exceeds the rated
