Nidec Copal CL-DB Detect switch

The CL-DB series represents a specialized class of detection technology focused on miniaturization and accuracy. The Nidec Copal CL-DB Detect switch functions as a SPST momentary switch, designed to trigger a signal when a specific mechanical action—such as the closing of a chassis or the insertion of a card—occurs. Its specific compliance with Micro-TCA standards ensures that it meets the rigorous mechanical and electrical requirements of standardized industrial hardware.

What sets the Nidec Copal CL-DB Detect switch apart is its optimized contact stability for low-current applications. Operating at a rating of 5 VDC 1 mA, it is perfectly suited for logic-level sensing where traditional switches might fail due to contact contamination or excessive resistance. The surface-mount design allows for efficient top-side PCB placement, reducing production complexity and supporting the push toward smaller, more capable industrial automation and networking equipment.

Description

The Nidec Copal CL-DB Detect switch is a high-precision, ultra-compact sensing solution specifically engineered for Micro-TCA standard packages. This surface-mount component provides reliable “Off – (On)” switching functionality, making it an essential part for detecting module insertion or physical state changes in advanced computing and telecommunication systems.

The Nidec Copal CL-DB Detect Switch is a specialized, ultra-miniature electronic component designed for high-precision detection in compact devices. It’s part of the “micro-switch” family, specifically engineered to “detect” a physical state—like whether a door is closed, a tray is inserted, or a button is partially pressed.

The CL-DB series is known for being surface-mountable (SMD) and incredibly thin, making it a favorite for engineers dealing with limited PCB real estate.
