CRD16RM0AB
Overview
The CRD16RM0AB is a 16-position hexadecimal coded rotary DIP switch designed for right-angle through-hole mounting. It features a flush, tool-actuated rotor and gold-plated contacts, providing a reliable interface for manual configuration of embedded systems. This process-sealed component is washable and rated for low-power logic-level switching up to 20VAC/DC.
Why Choose This Part
The right-angle orientation and tool-actuated flush rotor make it ideal for edge-of-board placement where space is limited and accidental changes must be prevented. Its process-sealed construction allows the switch to withstand automated wave soldering and aqueous cleaning cycles without risk of contact contamination. The gold-over-beryllium copper contacts ensure high reliability in low-voltage logic circuits over a wide temperature range of -20C to +85C.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Integrate this switch by providing a 0.100 inch (2.54mm) pitch footprint on your PCB with a right-angle layout at the board edge. Use 10k ohm pull-up resistors on the four coded output lines to interface the hexadecimal logic levels directly with MCU GPIO pins. Ensure the tool used for actuation matches the recessed rotor slot to prevent mechanical wear.
