ITW Switches Announces New SMJS Jumper Switch(TM) As Versatile Surface Mount Alternative to Shunts and Jumper Switches



Harwood Heights, Ill. - A new surface mount switchable jumper switch created as an ideal alternative to shunts and jumpers has been developed and is now being marketed by ITW Switches, an Illinois Tool Works Company.

With space-saving 0.050-inch centers, the new ERG SMJS Jumper-Switch(TM) is especially designed for surface mounting using automatic pick and place equipment and reflow soldering ovens. Introduced in 2002, ITW Switches' comprehensive line of Erg Components also features color-coded DIP switches, low-profile color-coded DIP switches, card edge color-coded DIP switches, and rotary coded DIP switches.

Ideal for use in a wide variety of applications, the new ERG SMJS Jumper-Switch can be configured as SPDT or DPDT and is well-suited for data programming, digital address settings, signal and data line switching, disk drives, and security devices - anywhere selectable switching and settings are needed.

This new device features a custom or ganged top half that allows most pick-and-place equipment to easily remove the switch for processing. It then can be either left in place or used independently, if needed.

Other features include gold over nickel-plated beryllium copper contacts, four-point wiping contact design, positive detent action for shock resistance and deep "V" slots to securely locate any operation probe. Various packaging options including tube or tape and reel for loading, and a lifetime warranty.
