Series 208RA
Right Angle Panel DIP Switch
Designed for panel applications, saves cost of right
angle socket
SPST circuit
Optional tape seal for board spray washing
Available with low profile, standard, or extended
actuators
Tin Plated Contacts
Description
The terminals are molded into the thermoset base and provide an electrostatic discharge shield rating to 22KV
when the front row of terminals are connected to ground. The optimized contact design incorporates a dimple-
to-flat surface wiping interface for long-term contact corrosion resistance, making the 208 series an ideal
economical choice for many applications.
