Overview

The Omron A6A-10RF is a compact, through-hole rotary DIP switch designed for BCD (Binary Coded Decimal) output applications. It features a 10-position rotary mechanism, activated by a tool, offering a flush, recessed actuator level. This switch is suitable for robust environments, providing IP64 dust-tight and water-resistant protection.

Why Choose This Part

Engineers choose the A6A-10RF for its BCD output, simplifying integration into digital circuits. Its IP64 rating ensures reliability in environments exposed to dust and splashing water. The through-hole mounting and PC pin termination provide secure and durable board attachment, while the rotary-for-tool actuation prevents unintended changes.

Applications

Industrial Control Panels
Used in industrial machinery and control panels for setting operational modes or parameter values due to its robust design and BCD output.
Test and Measurement Equipment
Ideal for configuring settings or selecting functions in test equipment where reliable and precise input is required.
Embedded System Configuration
Provides a physical interface for setting addresses, operating modes, or other fixed configurations in embedded systems.
Vending Machines and Kiosks
Suitable for internal configuration settings in automated systems like vending machines, where settings may be changed periodically by maintenance personnel.
Security Systems
Can be employed in security devices for setting access codes or operational parameters, benefiting from its tool-actuated design to prevent accidental changes.

Getting Started

To integrate the A6A-10RF, mount it onto a PCB using its through-hole pins with a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. Connect the BCD output pins to the digital input of a microcontroller or logic circuit, ensuring the 28VDC maximum voltage rating is observed. The switch can be configured using a screwdriver or similar tool to rotate the flush, recessed actuator.
