The part number **10RS-1C-R0-R/C01** typically refers to a specific configuration of a **rotary DIP switch** or a similar electromechanical component often manufactured by brands like Copal Electronics (Nidec) or similar industrial suppliers. ### Component Specifications Below is a breakdown of the typical characteristics for this series of electronic components: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | Rotary DIP Switch | | **Number of Positions** | 10 Positions (0-9) | | **Code Type** | Real Code (Binary Coded Decimal - BCD) | | **Mounting Type** | Through-hole (Standard PC Pin) | | **Actuator Style** | Recessed (requires screwdriver/tool) or Flat | | **Contact Rating** | 100mA @ 5V DC (Switching), 100mA @ 50V DC (Non-switching) | | **Operating Temp** | -40°C to +85°C | --- ### Part Number Breakdown Understanding the nomenclature helps identify the exact physical and electrical properties: 1. **10**: Indicates the number of positions (10-position BCD). 2. **RS**: Series designation (often signifying a specific size, e.g., 10mm square). 3. **1C**: Contact configuration (Single pole, 10-position). 4. **R0**: Refers to the "Real Code" logic. In a Real Code BCD switch, the output follows standard binary logic where "1" is high. 5. **R**: Packaging type (often "R" for Rail/Tube or Reel). 6. **C01**: Specific custom variant or revision code, often indicating a specific terminal plating (like Gold) or a lead-free (RoHS) compliance marker. --- ### Applications These parts are commonly used in industrial and telecommunications equipment for: * **Address Setting:** Setting IDs for nodes in a network (e.g., RS-485 or CAN bus). * **Configuration:** Selecting operating modes on a PCB without needing a digital interface. * **Calibration:** Hard-coding specific limit values for sensors. ### Technical Precautions * **Soldering:** Since these are mechanical switches, ensure they are compatible with your soldering process (wave vs. manual). The "C01" suffix often denotes washability (sealed construction). * **Logic:** Ensure your microcontroller firmware expects **Real Code** (standard BCD) rather than **Complement Code** (inverted logic).
