The P36 series rotary DIP switches are an ultra-compact switch with a 3 + 3 terminal layout, completely sealed for process compatibility, with 10 or 16 positions, precision designed detent action, thru-hole (P36 Series) and SMT (P36S Series) models, high reliability and long life, clockwise or counterclockwise settable, solder coated terminals.
The P36 and P36S rotary DIP switches feature a 3+3 terminal layout, sealed construction for process compatibility, and an ultra‑compact size with 10 or 16 selectable positions. Options include thru‑hole (P36) and surface‑mount (P36S) models, with clockwise or counter‑clockwise settable detents and solder‑coated terminals.
Technical specifications include a maximum operating voltage of 24 VDC, static contact rating of 400 mA, dynamic rating of 100 mA, and an insulation resistance greater than 100 MΩ. Mechanical data list a torque of 0.98 in‑oz min, expected life of 10 000 switching operations, and an operating temperature range of –30 °C to 90 °C. The switches are packaged for both through‑hole and SMT assembly, with optional tape‑and‑reel for SMT models.
