This document provides detailed specifications for APEM low‑profile dip switches designed for automatic or manual insertion. It lists the electrical parameters such as contact resistance, switching current and voltage ratings, as well as insulation and dielectric withstand values.
Environmental limits, mechanical life, and physical construction details are also included, with data on temperature range, humidity tolerance, vibration and shock standards, housing material, and contact plating. A separate section describes surface‑mount dip switch dimensions and model variations.
