INTRODUCTION
This specification covers the requirements for application of DIP programming switches (7000 and 7100 Series) for printed circuit (pc) board applications. 7000 Series switches are designed for a life of 7,000 cycles per pole. 7100 Series switches are recommended for programming applications where the number of cycles is limited to 2,000 per pole.

Switches are manually rocker actuated and are designed for wave soldering on printed circuit (pc) boards or insertion into DIP Sockets with in--row centerline spacing of 7.62 [.300]. 7000 series switches are black, and are available in 2 through 12 positions, while 7100 series switches are blue and available in 2 through 12 positions. Both series are available with a premium seal, an economy seal, or unsealed in the raised rocker (standard profile) or flush rocker profile (low profile). In addition, 7000 series switches are available with a side rocker profile (side actuated). Both series are individual single--pole, single--throw (SPST). 7000 series raised rocker profile switches may have ganged rockers for single--pole, double--throw (SPDT) and double--pole, double--throw (DPDT) make--before--break circuits.
