Nidec Copal CS-4 Rotary selector switch

The CS-4 series represents a pinnacle in surface-mount rotary technology, offering a sophisticated alternative to traditional toggle or slide switches. The Nidec Copal CS-4 Rotary selector switch is specifically designed for high-density mounting, featuring a compact footprint that does not sacrifice performance. With a rating of 0.5 VA Max at 100 mA 16 VDC, it is optimized for low-current signal switching where contact reliability is critical.

A standout feature of the CS-4 series is its sealed construction. Being fully washable, these switches can withstand standard board washing processes after soldering, ensuring that contaminants do not compromise the internal contacts. Whether your design requires Gull wing, J-hook, or through-hole terminals, the CS-4 provides the mechanical flexibility needed for both surface mount and traditional mounting techniques. The non-shorting switching timing further guarantees that circuit transitions occur without accidental electrical overlaps.
