The 1A216002GF is a 2100 Series STRIPSWITCH® PCB-mounted thumbwheel switch that combines direct decimal-to-binary conversion in a compact package. It features 10 or 16 switching positions with a mechanical life of 250,000 detents at +25°C and an initial rotational torque of 1.0 to 4.0 inch-ounces. The switch supports maximum electrical current of 3A non-switching and 125 mA at 28 VDC resistive switching load, with a circuit resistance of 100 mO maximum and dielectric withstanding voltage of 250 VAC (RMS). Housing and thumbwheel are constructed from glass-reinforced polyester (UL 94 V0), with contacts featuring copper alloy base plated in gold over nickel, and operates reliably across storage temperatures of -40°C to +100°C and operating temperatures of -20°C to +75°C. The 2100 Series is lead-free and fully RoHS compliant, making it ideal for industrial control panels, instrumentation, and equipment requiring operator-selectable binary or decimal input with minimal assembly complexity.
