Ultra-Miniature Illuminated Slides
Series SS
Toggles
Top or side actuation permits flexible board design.
Bright, LED illumination at tip of actuator.
Compact dimensions and low profile allow
high density mounting and close stacking
of PC boards.
Double molded thermoset base and
thermoplastic housing prevent loosening
of terminals due to high soldering temperatures.
Sliding twin contact mechanism with self-cleaning action
provides smooth actuation and produces high contact reliability.
H
Insert molded terminals lock out flux, solvents, and other contaminants.
Inch terminal spacing for standard PC board grid (.100” x .100”).

LED COLORS & SPECIFICATIONS
LEDs are supplied as an integral part
of the switch (not available separate-
ly). The lamp circuit is independent of
switch operation. Electrical specifica-
tions shown are determined at a basic
temperature of 25°C.
If the source voltage exceeds the rated
voltage, a ballast resistor is required.
The resistor value can be calculated
by using the formula given in the
Supplement.
