The 97C10ST is a 10-position, surface-mount DIP switch from the RoHS-compliant Series 97 family. It features a low-profile, half-pitch design that is half the size of standard DIP switches and includes a top tape seal for protection during board washing. Key electrical specifications include a switching contact rating of 25 mA at 24 Vdc, a non-switching rating of 100 mA at 50 Vdc, and an initial contact resistance of 100 mΩ maximum. Its compact form factor makes it ideal for space-constrained applications such as notebook computers, hand-held radios, industrial controls, and cellular base stations.
