C&K has a number of switch options for the pneumatic manifolds and valve terminals used to power the actuators, grippers, and pickups used in many automated assembly systems. For setup, configuration, and field bus communication settings, C&K offers a wide portfolio of standard and coded rotary DIP switches. If top actuation is required, C&K offers the standard pitch SDA series or the half pitch TDA series. Both come in low profile surface mount packages. The TDA offers from 1 to 10 positions and the SDA offers from 1 to 12 positions. The side mounted BPA series is also commonly used on pneumatic manifolds. Available in surface mount or through hole packages, it comes in 1 to 12 positions with a contact system that eliminates the need for tape during the wash process. If rotary switches are used, C&K offers the RTE and CD series. Both come in compact packages and offer a variety of outputs including BCD and Hexadecimal. The RTE is offered in 4, 10, or 16 positions and the CD is offered in 8, 10, or 16.
