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.
