Analog rocker switches

31 March 2010 Switches, Relays & Keypads

C&K Components has developed two Hall-effect contactless sensing analog rocker switches. Designated the AR3 and AR5 series, the switches are durable and feature a rocker life of more than two million actuations, short circuit protection and integrated temperature compensation. The AR5 rockers by design allow for customised fingertip style actuators, as well as different lengths and colour combinations.

The AR3 rocker switches feature an operating force from 4 N to 6 N, with a maximum vertical load of 30 N. Maximum output current is 1 mA, maximum rocker deflection angle is ±30°, and the switch is sealed to IP65 specifications from above when mounted. Operating temperature ranges from -35°C to +70°C.

The AR5 series features an optional detent/over-travel life of more than 200 000 cycles and an optional latching life of more than 100 000 cycles. Operating force ranges from 4 N to 6 N, with a maximum vertical load of 30 N. Maximum output current is 1 mA, maximum rocker deflection angle is ±40° and the switch is sealed to IP65 specifications. Operating temperature ranges from -40°C to


+85°C.

Both the AR3 and AR5 switches are RoHS compliant.
