Overview

The RDS-16S-74R45A-254-D is a 16-position hexadecimal rotary DIP switch designed for PC board mounting. It features a right-angle orientation with a 2.54mm pitch and a raised shaft actuator for easy manual adjustment. This switch is IP67-rated, providing a dust-tight and waterproof seal suitable for harsh environments.

Why Choose This Part

The component offers a wide operating temperature range from -60 to 125 degrees Celsius, making it robust for extreme environments. Its gold-plated contacts ensure reliable electrical performance at 42VDC and 100mA, while the right-angle through-hole mounting provides high mechanical stability during actuation.

Applications

Industrial Control Addressing
Setting unique hardware IDs or Modbus addresses for industrial modules in a rack system.
Configuration Presets
Selecting between 16 different firmware operating modes or calibration profiles on a PCB.
Outdoor Electronics
Providing user input for devices exposed to moisture and debris thanks to the IP67-rated sealing.
Right-Angle Interface
Implementing user-accessible configuration on the edge of a PCB for slim enclosure designs.

Getting Started

Integrate this switch into your PCB layout using a standard 2.54mm pitch footprint with 8 pins. Ensure that the logic level of your microcontroller matches the hexadecimal output of the switch, typically using internal pull-up resistors on the four data lines. Note that while the switch is IP67 rated, it is specifically listed as non-washable in some processing environments.
