Nidec Copal CMS Slide Switch

The Nidec Copal CMS Slide Switch serves as a robust interface component for signal routing and mode selection in sophisticated electronic systems. By utilizing a subminiature slide mechanism, this switch provides tactile feedback and clear circuit transitions without consuming excessive board space. It is specifically built to handle low-power signal switching with a rating of 100 mA at 12 VDC, making it ideal for logic-level applications.

A significant competitive advantage of the CMS series is its extensive variety, offering up to 33 different types to accommodate various mounting and terminal requirements. Whether your design necessitates Gull wing, J-hook, or Through-hole terminals, the CMS series provides a compatible form factor. This flexibility, combined with a non-shorting switching timing, prevents electrical interference during transitions, protecting sensitive downstream components.

Description

The Nidec Copal CMS Slide Switch is a high-performance subminiature switching solution designed for dense PCB layouts where vertical space and footprint efficiency are critical. This versatile switch series offers a wide variety of configurations, including 2PDT, 2P3T, 2P4T, and 4PDT circuits, to meet the complex logic requirements of modern industrial and telecommunications equipment.

The Nidec Copal CMS series is a lineup of high-reliability, surface-mount (SMT) slide switches designed for compact electronic devices. They are particularly known for their durability and “twin-contact” mechanism, which ensures a stable electrical connection even in harsh environments.
