A6T/A6S is a low-cost DIP switch with Slide Pins that allows automatic mounting with DIP IC insertion machines. Washable models with seal tape are available. SMT (surface-mounted terminal) models are available.
This document is a technical datasheet for the Omron A6T/A6S series of low-cost DIP switches featuring slide pins. It provides ordering information for various models based on pole count and actuator type (flat or raised), as well as terminal configuration (DIP or SMT). The product line includes washable options with seal tape.
The datasheet details key electrical ratings, such as a switching capacity of 25 mA at 24 VDC, and mechanical specifications including life expectancy and operating force. It also provides comprehensive guidelines for installation, soldering procedures (including temperature and time limits), and cleaning methods for washable models.
| Switching capacity | 25 mA at 24 VDC |
|---|---|
| Insulation resistance | 100 MQ min. |
| Contact resistance | 200 mQ max. |
| Dielectric strength | 500 VAC for 1 min |
| Life expectancy (Mechanical) | 1,000 operations min. |
| Operating temperature | -20°C to 70°C |
The maximum soldering temperature is 350°C at the tip of the soldering iron.
No, do not apply any other solvents or water to clean any washable model because they may deteriorate the materials.
Apply an operating force not exceeding 200% of the maximum rated operating force.
