CFS-0400TB

Overview

The CFS-0400TB is a surface-mount DIP slide switch from the Nidec Components CFS series, featuring four positions and SPST circuit configuration. It utilizes a flat knob actuator with a washable design incorporating seal tape. The component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C and supports a maximum switching rating of DC6V at 100mA. Electrical characteristics include a minimum contact resistance of 50mΩ and insulation resistance of 1000MΩ. The housing and cover are constructed from UL Recognized 94V-0 Polyphenylenesulfide resin.

Feature Summary

• Twin gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure excellent stability
• Washable construction with integrated seal tape for environmental protection
• RoHS compliant manufacturing process
• UL Recognized 94V-0 flame retardant resin materials

Applications

• Communication devices
• Air-conditioning equipment
• Vending machines
• Various control equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify part numbers before ordering as availability varies by packaging type. Taping versions are supplied in reel units (1000 pcs/reel for flat knob). Magazine versions are available in specific stick quantities based on bit count. Confirm terminal shape and actuator style match design requirements. Check datasheet for latest plating and material change notices.

Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring washable DIP switches with surface mount gull wing terminals. The flat knob design offers a low-profile actuator suitable for sealed enclosures. Ensure PCB pad dimensions align with the recommended layout for full pitch spacing. Consider the 1mm stroke and operating force specifications for user interface requirements.

Part Context

This component belongs to the CFS series of full pitch slide switches manufactured by Nidec Components. The series offers various bit counts from one to ten and multiple terminal shapes including J-hook, gull wing, and through-hole pin. The CFS-0400TB specifically denotes a four-bit version with gull wing terminals and a flat knob washable structure.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other CFS series variants such as CFS-0401TB for non-washable options or CFS-0402TB for convex knob styles. Verify terminal compatibility when substituting between gull wing and J-hook types. Ensure mechanical envelope fits within existing PCB constraints.
