Nidec Copal CFS Slide Switch

Nidec Copal CFS Slide Switch

The Nidec Copal CFS Slide Switch stands out in the market due to its focus on long-term electrical stability. Unlike standard single-contact sliders, the CFS series utilizes a twin-contact architecture. This redundant contact system ensures that even if one path is momentarily obstructed by micro-particles, the second contact maintains signal continuity, drastically reducing the risk of circuit failure.

Functionality meets process efficiency with the CFS series’ wash-through design. After the SMT reflow soldering process, the switch allows for board cleaning without trapping harmful flux residues inside the mechanism, which is a critical requirement for high-reliability medical and aerospace electronics. Its heat-resistant resin housing and gold-plated contacts provide a robust barrier against environmental oxidation and thermal stress. With a crisp tactile response and various pole configurations, this switch provides the precision control necessary for sophisticated user interfaces and internal configuration settings.

Description

The Nidec Copal CFS Slide Switch is a high-precision, surface-mount (SMT) micro-switch engineered for reliable signal switching in ultra-compact electronic devices. Featuring a low-profile design and a unique twin-contact mechanism, this switch ensures stable electrical performance and high contact integrity even in high-density PCB layouts.

The Nidec Copal CFS Series is a line of full-pitch (2.54 mm) DIP slide switches. These are versatile components widely used for board-level configurations in industrial electronics, communication devices, and automation equipment.

The CFS series is characterized by its “twin gold-plated contact” mechanism, which ensures high contact stability and reliability over time.
