Sealed sub-subminiature snap action suitable for low current, low voltage applications. IP67 sealing makes the DW3 series desirable for applications where liquid ingress or exposure to other contaminants is a concern. The silent operating mechanism used in the DW3 is extremely popular in the automotive sector where the noise of a typical snap action switch might be unwelcome. The DW3 series is available with a variety of terminal options, including wire leads.
- Sub-subminiature switch with IP67 protection
- Silent actuation mechanism
- Suitable for low current applications
- Commonly used in the automotive sector
- Wide variety of terminal and actuator options
- Available with solder terminals or wire leads
- Operating temperature range up to -40 to 85 °C
- High electrical service life
The DW3 series is designed for signal applications. If you are looking for a switch type with higher electrical rating please see DW or DFW series.
Note: The IP67 classification applies to pre-wired variants only. Although the actuator is IP67 sealed, variants with exposed terminals are classified IP00.
