Nidec Copal CUS Slide Switch

In the world of precision electronics, board real estate is a premium commodity. The CUS series addresses this challenge by offering a subminiature footprint without compromising on mechanical reliability or electrical integrity. The Nidec Copal CUS Slide Switch features a smooth sliding mechanism that provides distinct tactile feedback, ensuring accurate circuit transitions every time.

Designed for long-term durability, this switch is built using high-grade heat-resistant materials that withstand the rigorous thermal profiles of reflow soldering. The gold-plated contact system provides excellent resistance to oxidation, ensuring stable conductivity throughout the switch’s operational life. Whether you are designing handheld diagnostic tools, telecommunications hardware, or industrial sensor modules, the CUS series delivers the professional-grade performance required for critical signal path management.

Description

The Nidec Copal CUS Slide Switch is a high-performance subminiature switching solution designed for space-constrained PCB applications. This ultra-compact switch provides reliable SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) functionality, making it an ideal choice for logic-level signal switching and hardware mode selection.

The Nidec Copal CUS Series is a line of ultra-low-profile, surface-mount (SMT) slide switches. These are specifically designed for space-constrained electronics like mobile stereos, LCD TVs, and camcorders where a slim profile is critical.

The CUS series stands out for its height—just 1.4 mm—and its “Gull wing” terminal shape for reliable SMT soldering.
