Distributor TTI has extended is Omron switch range to include a sealed detection switch, a waterproof tactile switch, and more DIP switches.

The D2QW detection switch features a sliding contact mechanism that can wipe foreign bodies and contamination such as silicone out of the switch area. With 3.7mm travel plus 2.2mm over-travel, the sliding mechanism offers silent operation. Inside are twin contacts for extra reliability.

Sealed to IP67, the device is 13.3x9.2mm, and 9.3mm tall above the M3 mounting.

Rated life is 500,000 operations at 14Vdc, 10mA, or 200,000 at 30Vdc, 100mA.

The waterproof B3SL tactile switch is 6.2mm square and 5.1mm high, and features IP64 sealing and a rubber plunger.

Aimed at consumer white goods and computer peripherals, the switches are suitable for wave soldering.

Piano-type DIP switches are available in surface mount and through hole form.

Intended for telecommunications, set-top boxes and industrial systems, the 2.54mm pitch devices have a self-cleaning structure with gold twin contacts.

Both the surface mount (A6SR) and through hole (A6TR) formats come in 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 pole configurations, with a choice of two operating lever lengths.
