Switches
A switch is a device that allows electricity to flow through a circuit by completing or interrupting the connection. It is a common component in electrical and electronic systems and is used in a variety of applications, such as controlling the flow of electricity in a circuit, turning devices on and off, and routing electrical signals. One of the primary use cases for switches is to control the flow of electricity in a circuit. This can be done by manually flipping the switch or by using a control mechanism, such as a timer or a sensor. Another common use for switches is to turn devices on and off. This can be done using a switch that is built into the device or by using a separate switch that is connected to the device. In addition to these basic use cases, switches can also be used to route electrical signals. For example, a switch can be used to route a signal from one device to another or to direct a signal to a specific circuit or component. If you're looking for a wide variety of switches for your projects, flux.ai has the world's largest community-driven public library of them. The library includes footprints, symbols, datasheets, and simulation models for a wide range of switches, making it easy to find the right switch for your needs.
AS11CH
SPST Right-Angle Through-Hole Slide Switch – Miniature Single-Pole Single-Throw (SPST) slide switch designed for consumer electronics, industrial controls, instrumentation, embedded systems, communication equipment, portable devices, and general-purpose PCB switching applications. The NKK Switches AS11CH is part of the AS Series, featuring an ON–OFF switching function with a through-hole, right-angle PCB mount and a 3.8 mm standard actuator. It is rated for 0.4 VA (AC/DC) at 28 V, making it ideal for low-power signal switching. The switch utilizes gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts for excellent low-level signal reliability, non-shorting (break-before-make) contacts, and epoxy-sealed terminals to improve soldering reliability and protect against flux contamination. It provides 2.5 mm actuator travel, 260 gf operating force, and both 50,000 mechanical and electrical cycles. Operating over a −30°C to +85°C temperature range, it is well suited for compact embedded and industrial electronic designs. #NKKSwitches #AS11CH #ASSeries #SlideSwitch #SPST #RightAngleSwitch #ThroughHole #GoldContacts #SignalSwitch #IndustrialElectronics #EmbeddedSystems #PCBSwitch
