FR Series 10-mm, ultra-thin units are designed as a cost-effective alternative to the more expensive DIP rotaries currently available in the market. The FR Series of binary coded DIP rotaries are environmentally friendly devices, meeting the RoHS directive restricting the use of hazardous substances. The heat-resistant resin materials are UL94V-0 and suited to lead-free solder processing applications including vapor phase and infrared convection re-flow soldering. The units feature a body dimension of 3.8 mm in height, delivering the lowest profile in the industry and allowing close stacking of PC boards. Available in real or complement codes and decimal or hexadecimal configurations, the FR Series can be specified in through-hole or SMD models. Highly visible legends with an arrow to indicate position provide trouble-free code setting, and color-keyed actuators identify codes. Electrical capacity switching rating is 100 mA @ 5 Vdc, while the non-switching rating is 100mA @ 50 Vdc. The cam-activated movable contact and gold contacts ensure contact reliability and continuity. The detent mechanism gives crisp, positive action that provides accurate switch setting. Actuators are fully rotational and can be operated either clockwise or counterclockwise.
