Frequently Asked Questions

What are the electrical ratings of the SSSS820101, and what circuit types is it designed for?

The SSSS820101 is rated at 0.3 A maximum current and 5 V maximum voltage, making it appropriate for low-power signal switching rather than high-current power lines. It is designed for logic-level and low-voltage DC circuits commonly found in portable electronics, microcontroller boards, and sensor modules where signal routing or mode selection is required.

Why choose an SMT slide switch like the SSSS820101 over a through-hole alternative for compact designs?

The SMD/SMT package of the SSSS820101 allows placement on the same side as other surface-mount components, eliminating the need for through-holes and reducing PCB layer complexity. This saves board space compared to through-hole slide switches, which typically require a larger footprint and manual insertion. The SMT format also supports reflow soldering for automated, high-volume production at 5 V operating levels.

In what end products is the ALPS SSSS820101 typically used?

The SSSS820101 is commonly used in portable handheld devices, wearable electronics, remote controls, and IoT sensor modules that operate at 5 V or less. Its 0.3 A current rating suits logic-level switching and low-power mode selection circuits. ALPS' manufacturing quality makes it a reliable choice for consumer electronics requiring 10,000 or more actuation cycles over the product lifetime.
