EAO Slide Switch, SPDT On-On, Right Angle, 24V 500mA

The EAO 1K2 Series Slide Switch is a precision-engineered, single pole, double throw (SPDT) on-on switch designed for reliable performance in demanding applications. It features a robust plastic housing with a distinctive red flush slider for clear visual indication of its position. The switch utilises high-quality gold-plated contacts to ensure excellent conductivity and a long electrical life, making it suitable for low-current, low-voltage circuits.

Engineered for a mechanical lifetime of 10,000 cycles, this switch offers dependable maintained switching action. The pins are pre-formed at a right angle, facilitating easier PCB (printed circuit board) mounting and saving valuable space within compact electronic assemblies. Its through-hole mounting design provides a secure and stable mechanical connection to the circuit board.

Key Features

• Contact Configuration: Single Pole, Double Throw (SPDT) for versatile circuit control.
• Switch Operation: On-On maintained action for two distinct active positions.
• Contact Rating: Rated for a maximum of 500mA at 24V DC, ideal for signal switching and low-power control.
• Durability: Built for a mechanical lifetime of 10,000 actuations.
• Enhanced Connectivity: Gold-plated contacts for reliable, low-resistance connections.
• Compact Design: Right-angled pins and a low-profile form factor optimise space on PCBs.

This switch is a fundamental component for designers and engineers requiring a durable and compact switching solution for industrial control panels, instrumentation, test equipment, and other electronic devices where space and reliability are critical.
