PICOD Series
Pushwheel Switches, Subminiature, Panel Mount, Dual Button
The PICOD family offers small panel-mounted pushwheel code
switches, ideally suited for high density applications. They are used
for the controlling and programming of frequency synthesizers,
counters and timers, data comparators, security encoders, weighing
machines, etc. The dependable pushbutton action allows narrow
0.3 inch width on panel. Changes to higher or lower settings are
accomplished rapidly by successive operation of the appropriate
buttons. The featherweight PICOD is less than 0.6 inch high, yet
rugged enough for hand-held and portable instruments that may be
subjected to field abuse. Heavy gold plating on wiping contacts
affords low contact resistance for reliable operation over long
periods of service. Easy-to-read characters are viewed through
dust-sealed window. Installation costs are minimized by snap-
together design – no inconvenient hardware.
