Nidec Copal SC-1000/2000 Rotary Coded Switch

In modern electronic system design, maintaining accurate hardware addressing and parameter selection is critical for system integrity. The SC-1000 (10 positions) and SC-2000 (16 positions) series address this by utilizing a high-precision rotary coded mechanism that translates mechanical rotation into stable binary or hexadecimal outputs. The internal architecture is designed with high contact pressure, ensuring that selected settings remain secure even in environments prone to mechanical vibration or thermal stress.

One of the standout advantages of the Nidec Copal SC-1000/2000 Rotary Coded Switch is its superior process compatibility. The switch is constructed from high-performance, heat-resistant PPS resin, enabling it to endure the intense thermal profiles of infrared reflow soldering without losing mechanical precision. Furthermore, its washable or wash-through design allows manufacturers to remove flux residues effectively using standard cleaning systems. Whether integrated into telecommunications hardware or industrial automation modules, the SC series delivers professional-grade precision in an ultra-compact package.

Description

The Nidec Copal SC-1000/2000 Rotary Coded Switch is a high-precision subminiature surface-mount (SMT) component designed for reliable digital logic configuration. Featuring a space-saving footprint and a robust internal mechanism, these switches provide an intuitive interface for BCD or Hexadecimal code selection in advanced electronic hardware.

The Nidec Copal SC-1000 and SC-2000 series are low-profile, rotary-coded DIP switches designed for high-density mounting on printed circuit boards (PCBs). They are widely used for setting addresses, configurations, and modes in industrial and consumer electronics.
