Electro-Mech's new SW44832 potentiometer switch assembly offers both
rotary and push-on functionality for maximum operation control. The
compact all-in-one unit saves valuable panel space in applications where
there are tight design limitations. The SPST switch enables the user to
specify a value so that at the push of a button, the circuit or channel
automatically opens at the preset level. Featuring an edgelit button
(optional) and a momentary snap-click pushbutton switch, the SW44832
also features a 10K W resistance potentiometer module. Typical
applications for the SW44832 switch include industrial/avionics displays
and audio controls, instrument panel controls, and other high-density
panels. Previous models were only available using EMC's slide bar switch
actuation design. The SW44832 also features front facing PC pins for
easier interface to the PC Board in the next higher assembly.
