Nidec Copal CES Slide Switch

In the world of miniature electronics, reliability often hinges on the quality of internal switching components. The CES series addresses this challenge by utilizing a non-shorting, twin-contact architecture. By providing redundant contact points, the switch significantly reduces the risk of intermittent signals caused by surface oxidation or microscopic debris. This design ensures that every transition is secure, providing long-term stability for your critical circuitry.

The Nidec Copal CES Slide Switch is specifically optimized for automated SMT production lines. It is constructed from high-temperature resistant materials, such as Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), allowing it to endure the thermal stress of infrared reflow soldering without losing mechanical precision. The “washable” or wash-through design is a vital feature for high-yield manufacturing, enabling the safe removal of flux residues through standard cleaning processes. With a distinct tactile feel and a compact 2mm stroke, the CES series offers a premium user experience and technical durability in a miniature package.

Description

The Nidec Copal CES Slide Switch is an ultra-compact, surface-mount (SMT) subminiature component designed for high-density electronic assemblies. Engineered for superior signal integrity, this switch features a specialized twin-contact mechanism that ensures consistent electrical connectivity in space-constrained applications.

The Nidec Copal CES Series is a high-profile DIP slide switch designed for through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards (PCBs). Unlike ultra-thin SMD switches, the CES series is characterized by its 10 mm high-profile design, making it easier to operate in applications where space isn’t as restricted as a mobile device.
