General-purpose Thumbwheel Switches
• A wide range of output codes are available.
• Use the back-mounting (screw-mounting) models to achieve a
compact panel design.

Note: 1.
The classification diagrams show 4 Switch Units combined with End Caps to create 4-digit displays.
2.
The model numbers given above are for 1 Switch Unit.
3.
Models with stoppers are also available. Add “-S@@” after the “103,” “106,” “107,” “119,” “203,” “206,” “207,” or “219” in the model number
and specify the display range in the
@@.
For example, to specify the range 0 to 6, add “-S06” to the model number (e.g., A7AS-203-S06-1).
4.
Models with +,
−
displays can also be produced. Add “-PM” after the “106” or “206” in the model number.
5.
Models with diodes are available. Add “-D” to the model number.
Accessories (Order Separately)
Use accessories, such as End Caps, Spacers, and Connectors with the Switch Units.

Output Codes/Terminals
How to Read Output Codes
Example for A7AS with Output Code 06
For example, when the dial position is “3,” the common terminal C on the Switch is connected to terminals 1 and 2. When the Switch is inserted
into the Connector, the common terminal C becomes connector terminal 3, and terminals 1 and 2 become connector terminals 5 and 7 respectively.
