Frequently Asked Questions
What is the electrical rating and switch configuration of the ALPS SSSS923200?
The SSSS923200 is a DP3T (double pole, triple throw) slide switch with a 100 mA maximum current rating. The double-pole design allows simultaneous switching of 2 independent signal lines across 3 positions, making it well-suited for multi-mode selector applications in low-power circuits.
In which applications is the SSSS923200 maintained slide switch commonly used?
This maintained DP3T slide switch is commonly used in audio input selectors, frequency-band selectors in radio equipment, and power-mode selectors in battery-operated devices rated below 100 mA. Its stable position retention removes the need for latching logic, simplifying circuit design in consumer and industrial instruments.
How does the through-hole mounting of SSSS923200 compare to SMT slide switches?
Through-hole mounting gives the SSSS923200 stronger mechanical retention than SMT alternatives, allowing it to withstand repeated manual actuation forces without solder joint fatigue. This is critical in panel-mount or handheld equipment where users interact with the switch thousands of times over a product's 5+ year lifespan.
What ALPS alternatives exist for applications needing higher current than the SSSS923200's 100 mA rating?
For circuits requiring more than 100 mA, ALPS offers other SSSS-series or SSSF-series slide switches rated up to 300 mA or 500 mA. Alternatively, switching to a relay or MOSFET driver stage behind a signal-level SSSS923200 keeps the low-profile slide actuator while handling higher load currents safely.
