Omron Slide Rotary Coded DIP Switch, Surface Mount, Slide Actuator, 8 Way, Gold Contacts, A6S-8102-H

The Omron A6S-8102-H is a slide rotary coded DIP switch engineered for high reliability and compact integration in surface mount electronic assemblies. Built to DIL (Dual-In-Line) standards, it is commonly used for manual configuration of logic or signal lines within electronic circuits, PCB prototypes, measurement systems, and automation hardware.

This switch features a slide actuator mechanism, enabling users to select among positions easily and with precision. Its gold-plated contacts are designed to deliver consistently low contact resistance (maximum 200mΩ), enhancing electrical performance and reliability over its lifetime. The insulation resistance of at least 100MΩ at 250V DC means it provides superior protection against accidental shorts or signal leakage, which is critical in precision and safety-critical hardware.

With mechanical durability rated for 1000 operations, the A6S-8102-H is ideal for both repeated setting changes and stable, long-term configurations. Flat actuator variants and sealed tape packaging options support automated surface-mount assembly, making the switch well-suited for efficient large-scale electronics manufacturing. Automated mounting compatibility with standard IC insertion machines reduces manual labor and ensures uniform quality.

Its robust build and reliable gold-plated contacts make it an excellent choice in industrial controls, telecommunications, measurement instrumentation, and consumer electronics that require dependable manual setting.

Common use cases include industrial automation panels, communication equipment, embedded system configuration, process controllers, and laboratory test devices. The surface mount form factor allows the DIP switch to be efficiently integrated into high-density circuit boards without sacrificing reliability or accessibility for reconfiguration.

The Omron A6S-8102-H DIP switch ensures repeatable, robust performance in demanding electronic environments where precise manual circuit configuration is required. This component matches the requirements of engineers and designers seeking durability, low contact resistance, reliable operation, and ease of assembly for critical signal switching in modern PCB-based devices.
