Nidec Copal AS Slide Switch

The Nidec Copal AS Slide Switch series (formerly Fujisoku) represents a pinnacle in subminiature switch technology. Engineered for high-density mounting, these switches utilize a twin-contact mechanism that guarantees high contact reliability. The use of gold-plated contacts makes them ideal for low-level logic signals, preventing oxidation and maintaining stable contact resistance over time.

One of the standout features of the AS series is its non-shorting (break-before-make) switching timing. This ensures that the connection to the first circuit is broken before the connection to the second is made, preventing accidental electrical shorts during transition. With a versatile terminal pitch of 0.2″ or 0.3″, these switches integrate seamlessly into standard and custom PCB layouts, providing a robust interface for user-controlled parameters or mode selection.
