PRD-B040SAIC-62

The PRD-B040SAIC-62 from Kollmorgen is a precision multi-position switch within the renowned CD Servostar CD Drives series, engineered for seamless integration into industrial automation and motion control applications. This compact rotary actuator device employs a robust SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) switching method and features 16 positions for reliable multi-state signal selection. Rated at 42V DC, 25mA, it easily interfaces with logic-level circuits without overloading control boards. The switch supports through hole mounting with PCB straight terminal connections, ensuring a secure, low-profile footprint on standard printed circuit boards. With a maximum contact resistance of 100 mΩ and a standard 2.54 mm pitch, the PRD-B040SAIC-62 maintains excellent electrical performance and simplifies PCB layout in high-density designs.

Performance characteristics reflect meticulous engineering to withstand demanding industrial environments. The switch’s dielectric strength of 500V AC for 1 minute and insulation resistance of 100 MΩ min at 500V DC guarantee signal integrity and minimize leakage under transient conditions. Its rotary actuator offers intuitive manual control with consistent detent feel across all 16 positions, while the SPDT switching architecture provides both normally open and normally closed contact configurations. The device is encased in UL94V-0 resin housing for flame retardance and is rated to operate over an ambient temperature range of -25°C to +70°C. The low-profile PCB straight terminals and 2.54 mm pitch facilitate rapid, repeatable assembly and soldering operations on automated production lines.

Reliability is central to the PRD-B040SAIC-62’s design, with silver-alloy contacts that resist corrosion and deliver consistent conductivity over extended cycles. The switch endures over 100,000 mechanical operations, reducing downtime and maintenance costs in industrial machinery. Its through hole mounting holes ensure robust PCB attachment, absorbing mechanical stress and vibration in harsh factory conditions. Compact dimensions and standardized terminal spacing enable straightforward integration into control panels, sensor arrays, and drive modules. Ideal for industrial automation, robotics, and process control systems, this switch delivers long-term stability, precise position selection, and trouble-free operation in critical applications.
