TTI has added to its range of switches from Omron. Among the additions are a new compact, sealed detection switch featuring a self-cleaning slide contact, a waterproof tactile switch and an extended range of DIP switches. The new Omron D2QW detection switch features a sliding contact mechanism that can wipe foreign bodies and contamination, such as silicone, out of the switch area to ensure reliable and silent operation. This compact and rugged product is sealed to IP67 standard and features twin contacts to further enhance the reliability of the switch. The D2QW has a travel of 3.7mm, plus an additional 2.2mm of over travel, simplifying system design. The rated life of these switches is 500,000 operations at 14V DC, 10mA, or 200,000 operations at 30V DC, 100mA. It has a footprint of 13.3x9.2mm and a height of 9.3mm above the M3 mounting. Also new is the waterproof B3SL tactile switch, a compact, high-quality device featuring IP64 sealing and a rubber plunger that gives a high-quality tactile feel to the operator. Suited for consumer white goods and computer peripherals, these switches measure 6.2x6.2x5.1mm and are suitable for wave soldering.
