Slide switches became popular in America with indus-
trial expansion after World War I. The "standard" two
position switch was designed for chassis mount on two
1.125-inch centered mounting holes. Terminals were
designed for convenience in hand soldering. Actuation
was with a trigger extending out the switch top, and
generally switches were constructed for switching up
to 3.0 amps at 125 volts ac. With the development of
densely packed printed circuit boards, new materials,
and new innovative requirements, design engineers
found needs for switching higher and lower currents
and voltages in smaller switch packages having a wide
variety of terminations as well as actuation from switch
sides, ends, and tops.
In response to industry's need for miniaturization,
CW first developed its miniature "Swidget"® line of
slide switches; and for printed circuit board applica-
tions, its "Sydwynders"®. CW's line of miniature
Swidgets® now has capability of switching currents up
to 8.5 amps, four poles concurrently and five posi-
tions consecutively. Switching can be by toggle, front,
side, and top actuating knobs. Terminals for solder,
printed circuit board, wire wrap, and solderless termi-
nation are also available.
This vast variety of switch types and options has
increased and multiplied the types of equipment into
which CW switches have been designed and are
used...with time-proven reliability at moderate prices.
From early applications in toys, kits, and games, our
switches are now used everywhere.. .from low volt-
age, low current to heavy duty switching.. .from calcu-
lators, computers, and sensitive instruments to hair
blowers, automobiles, and refrigerators...and TV,
home appliances, and aerospace devices, too.
CW's switch parts and assemblies are manufac-
tured in CW's fully integrated manufacturing facilities.
All processes are performed and controlled by CW's
highly trained and technically competent personnel.

PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
CW switches are designed to perform to the standards listed
when operated within ambient conditions detailed below:
Operating temperature—104°C
maximum, -10°C
minimum.
Relative humidity—Switches
will be operable and insula-
tion resistance shall be greater than 100 megohms if allowed
to dry for 100 hours at room temperature of 25°C and after
exposure for one hour in an atmosphere having 95% relative
humidity and a temperature of 50°C.
High voltage breakdown—Minimum
of 1000 volts rms 60 Hz
for one minute between parts of opposite polarity.
Contact resistance—Less
than 0.01 ohm at 20
milliamperes dc.
Life cycling (no load)—Switches
will be operative after
10,000 (minimum) cycles at the rate of 10 cycles per minute.

CARE IN SWITCH INSTALLATION
CW switches will perform properly if they are installed and
used properly. Causes for failure often encountered in the
field that are the responsibility of the user are:
1. Removal of factory applied lubricants from switch con-
tacts and moving parts.
2. Introduction of foreign material into switching mecha-
nism...flux, solder, cleaning materials, potting
compounds.
3. Restriction of movement of switch button.
4. Excessive heat often introduced while soldering.
5. Switching loads in excess of rating.
Manufacturing Engineers are cautioned to avoid misusing
switches and resultant switch failures.
J
U.L.ANDC.S.A.
CW test laboratories are fully equipped to monitor and test
CW switches to U.L. and C.S.A. published standards. Most
CW switches are listed by these agencies as having con-
formed to those standards in tests applied on a continuing
basis. A record of types of CW switches listed is retained in
U.L. File Number E-9556 and in C.S.A. File Number
LR20985.
