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.
