Nidec Copal CAS Jumper Switch

The CAS series represents a professional evolution in board-level setting management. By utilizing an integrated SPDT switching mechanism, the Nidec Copal CAS Jumper switch eliminates the logistical challenges associated with manual jumper pins, which are prone to falling off or being misplaced. This permanent surface-mount solution ensures that logical high/low settings remain stable and secure throughout the lifespan of the electronic module.

Beyond its compact footprint, the Nidec Copal CAS Jumper switch is built for industrial-grade manufacturing. It is constructed from heat-resistant materials capable of withstanding standard reflow soldering thermal profiles. The availability of a washable version, protected by seal tape, allows for efficient post-production cleaning. With gold-plated contacts providing superior conductivity and a non-shorting switching timing, the CAS series is the dependable choice for engineers focusing on telecommunications, industrial automation, and high-end consumer electronics.
