Multicomp Pro 16-Position Rotary Coded Switch, Right Angle, 24V DC

The Multicomp Pro MP-R7V3-16RA-V-B is a sophisticated, miniature rotary-coded switch engineered for precise, reliable code setting in electronic systems. Featuring a right-angle, through-hole mounting configuration, it is an ideal, space-saving component for densely packed PCBs. Its primary function is to set binary or hexadecimal codes by rotating a dial or knob across 16 distinct positions, facilitating tasks such as device addressing, system configuration, and parameter selection with exceptional accuracy.

Constructed with durability in mind, the switch boasts a robust, sealed design with a stainless steel cover, protecting the internal contacts from dust and contaminants. The low-profile build, standing at just 3mm, makes it perfect for applications with strict height restrictions. It is rated for a switching current of 25mA at 24V DC, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of low-power digital logic and control circuits.

Performance specifications underscore its reliability: a maximum contact resistance of 100mΩ, a minimum insulation resistance of 100MΩ at 100V DC, and an operating life of 10,000 cycles. It requires a maximum operating force of 200gf·cm with 2mm of travel, providing a positive, tactile feel. The switch operates reliably across a broad temperature range from -30°C to +80°C, ensuring stable performance in demanding industrial environments.

This versatile and cost-effective solution is a cornerstone component for designers and engineers, offering a dependable method for manual input and configuration in sophisticated electronic assemblies.
