Nidec Copal RS/RG Rotary selector switch

The RS/RG series from Nidec Copal (formerly Fujisoku) is a premier choice for technical applications requiring accurate and repeatable circuit selection. The Nidec Copal RS/RG Rotary selector switch is built with a focus on signal integrity, utilizing a mechanism that allows for up to 12 positions in a single-pole configuration. This high density of switching options within a small footprint makes it indispensable for modern instrumentation and control interfaces.

Designed for seamless integration into production workflows, the RS/RG series features excellent sealing properties that make the units fully washable. This allows the switches to undergo standard automated cleaning processes post-soldering without the risk of internal contact degradation. Furthermore, the availability of both shorting and non-shorting switching timing allows designers to tailor the switch behavior to prevent or enable momentary contact between positions, depending on the specific safety and functional needs of the circuit.

Description

The Nidec Copal RS/RG Rotary selector switch is a high-performance, precision-engineered component designed for reliable multi-position signal switching in professional electronic applications. With its compact through-hole design and washable sealing properties, this switch ensures long-term operational stability even in demanding PCB environments.

The Nidec Copal RS/RG Series consists of high-reliability, DIP-compatible rotary selector switches designed for PCB mounting. These switches are notable for their “O-ring” sealed contact blocks, which make them washable and resistant to dust and soldering flux.
