Technical Specifications

Product Features

 Compact Right Angle Design

The right angle switch structure enables side access, making it ideal for right angle dip switch or right angle toggle switch applications. Its 90° terminal orientation allows mounting in limited spaces and flush panel designs. The surface mount right angle switch variant supports automated PCB assembly while maintaining high-density layouts.

Reliable Electrical Performance

This 6-Pole 3-Position Right Angle Electrical Slide Switch is engineered for stable electrical operation:

• Rated 0.3A 50V DC

• Insulation resistance ≥100MΩ

• Contact resistance ≤30mΩ

• 500V AC dielectric strength for 1 minute

Such specifications ensure signal integrity and reduce electrical losses in multi-circuit configurations.

Smooth and Precise Operation

• Operation force: 400gf ±100gf

• Travel: 2.0mm

The tactile feedback of this right angle toggle switch is optimized for smooth switching without accidental actuation, providing reliable manual control for multi-position settings.

Durable and Long-Lasting

With a minimum lifespan of 10,000 cycles, the right angle dip switch is built with high-quality materials and robust internal contacts, ensuring consistent performance for industrial and field applications.

 Wide Operating Temperature Range

Operating between -25℃ to +85℃, the switch performs reliably in industrial, outdoor, and consumer environments where temperature fluctuations may occur.

Advantages

 Multi-Circuit High-Density Switching

The 6P3T configuration allows:

• Six independent circuits controlled by a single actuator

• Three-position switching for each pole

• Simultaneous and synchronized transitions

This design reduces PCB complexity and allows compact layouts, making it ideal for precision slide switch applications.

 Mechanically Stable

• Through-hole pins ensure secure electrical connections

• Optional screw mounts reinforce mechanical stability

• Resistant to vibration and mechanical stress

Perfect for industrial equipment, control panels, and embedded electronics.

 Space and Interface Optimization

Using a surface mount right angle switch enables:

• Slim device profiles

• Side-panel accessible controls

• Compact integration of multiple switches into one unit

This is especially advantageous in consumer electronics, robotics, and automation modules.

Simplified User Operation

Replacing multiple switches with a single right angle toggle switch reduces:

• Panel clutter

• Complex PCB routing

• Overall assembly cost

The single 6-Pole 3-Position Right Angle Electrical Slide Switch provides an intuitive interface for multi-mode or multi-state operations.

Operating Principle

Synchronized Multi-Pole Switching

The right angle dip switch design links six internal switching mechanisms to one actuator. When the actuator moves:

• All six poles switch simultaneously

• Each pole transitions across three positions

• Circuit connections change in precise unison

Side-Actuated Slide Mechanism

The right-angle slide mechanism allows side access while maintaining robust electrical contact with the PCB or chassis, supporting both through-hole and surface mount right angle switch implementations.
