TG SERIES - SMT WASHABLE TINY SLIDE SWITCHES
SMT TG Series switches incorporate
many desireable features that include:
G
Tape & reel packaging
This type of packaging is recom-
mended for:
G
economy
G
G
Surface mount devices (SMD) are subject to
more stringent constraints of temperature,
solderability, sealing and space savings than
through-hole components.
To meet these requirements, APEM has
designed a family of tiny surface mount
switches that include TL Series toggle
switches, TP Series pushbutton switches,
TR Series rocker switches & TG Series slide
switches. See toggle, pushbutton & rocker
switch sections of catalog for TL, TP & TR
Series respectively.
E
suitability for automated placement
handling of large quantities of com-
ponents per packaging unit
positive component positioning
protection of terminals against
damage during handling
high static resistance
G
G
G
G
Reflow solderable
G
High temperature plastic materials
G
G
Tin plated grounding brackets
Tin-lead alloy over nickel terminal
plating
Terminals turned outward to prevent
the shadow effect in infrared soldering
and to permit visual inspection of the
solder joints
.021" (0.55mm) air gap between p.c.
board and switch case
End stackable with .400" (10.16mm)
pitch
Available with positioning pins to
assure correct switch orientation
during the reflow process and provide
additional mechanical integrity

Switches are designed to withstand
cleaning processes, including hot
water under pressure.
