A6R/A6RV
Rotary DIP Switch
Low-cost Rotary DIP Switches
Series includes top-actuated, side-actuated, flat,
and extended-shaft models.
The rotor has an O-ring sealed construction that
prevents the ingress of dirt and dust.
Two different types of terminal arrangement are
available for each model to allow flexibility in the
circuit design.
