Nidec Copal ASE Slide Switch

In modern electronic design, maintaining high functionality within a minimal footprint is a constant challenge. The ASE series addresses this by providing an ultra-compact sliding mechanism that does not compromise on mechanical integrity. The Nidec Copal ASE Slide Switch operates with a smooth 2 mm stroke, delivering a clear physical response that allows operators or technicians to confirm successful state changes with confidence.

Safety and signal purity are at the core of the ASE series design. The Nidec Copal ASE Slide Switch utilizes a non-shorting switching timing, ensuring that one circuit path is completely disconnected before the next is engaged, which prevents temporary electrical overlaps. Built with heat-resistant polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) resin, the switch maintains its structural precision even during the high temperatures of reflow soldering. Furthermore, the washable type with seal tape allows for thorough PCB cleaning post-assembly, ensuring your final product remains free from contaminants.

Description

The Nidec Copal ASE Slide Switch is a high-performance subminiature switching solution designed for precision logic control in space-constrained PCB layouts. Featuring a robust Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) mechanism, this switch provides reliable circuit transitions with a distinct tactile feel, making it an essential component for hardware mode selection and digital signal routing.

The Nidec Copal ASE Series (formerly under the Fujisoku brand) consists of ultra-miniature, immersion-washable slide switches designed for high reliability in low-current applications. They are particularly popular for PCB-mounted designs where space is at a premium and environmental sealing is required during the manufacturing process.
