Ultra-Thin Rockers
Series GW
Distinctive Characteristics
Various colored rockers and paddles.
Combination of dust cover and closely fit housing, actuator,
and interior pivot provides protection for contacts.
Detent mechanism design of coil spring,
plunger, and plastic detent results in
crisp and positive actuation.
Extremely thin size allows high density
PCB mounting and makes these switches
ideal for handheld equipment.
Award-winning STC contact mechanism with
benefits unavailable in conventional mech-
anisms: smoother, positive detent actuation,
increased contact stability and unparalleled
logic-level reliability. (Additional STC details
in Terms & Acronyms; see Supplement
section.)
Molded-in, epoxy sealed terminals lock out flux and
other contaminants.
.100” x .100” (2.54mm x 2.54mm) terminal spacing conforms
to standard PC board grid spacing for straight and angle mounting.

Standards & Certifications
Flammability Standards:
UL Recognition
or CSA Certification:
UL94V-0 actuator & case/base
The GW Series rockers have not been tested for UL recognition or CSA certification.
These switches are designed for use in a low-voltage, low-current, logic-level circuit.
When used as intended in a logic-level circuit, the results do not produce hazardous energy.
