DP6T Configuration Enables Flexible Multi-Position Switching

One of the key advantages of the KH-SS26D01-G6 is its Double Pole Six Throw (DP6T) circuit structure.

The switch incorporates two independent poles and six selectable positions, allowing multiple signal paths or operating modes to be controlled within a single component. Compared with conventional SPST, SPDT, or DPDT switches, the DP6T design offers significantly greater functionality while minimizing PCB space requirements.

Typical applications include:

• Function selection in industrial control systems

• Frequency or channel switching in communication equipment

• Signal routing in audio devices

• Mode selection in test and measurement instruments

• Multi-state control in smart electronic products

By integrating multiple switching functions into a single component, engineers can simplify circuit architecture, reduce component count, and improve overall system efficiency.

Shorting Contact Design Ensures Continuous Signal Transfer

The KH-SS26D01-G6 adopts a SHORTING (Make-Before-Break) contact mechanism.

During position transitions, the new contact is connected before the previous contact is disconnected, creating a brief overlap that maintains circuit continuity. This design helps prevent temporary signal interruptions that may occur during switching operations.

Key benefits include:

• Reduced signal interruption

• Improved switching reliability

• Enhanced operational stability

• Minimized system glitches during mode changes

This feature is particularly valuable in communication systems, audio equipment, and industrial electronics where uninterrupted signal transmission is critical for proper operation.

By maintaining continuity during switching, the KH-SS26D01-G6 contributes to a smoother and more reliable user experience.

Compact Dimensions Support Space-Efficient PCB Designs

Modern electronic products increasingly require compact and efficient component layouts.

The KH-SS26D01-G6 is designed with a space-saving form factor:

• Switch Length: 21.5 mm

• Switch Width: 6.6 mm

• Base Height: 10.5 mm

• Actuator Type: Rectangular Lever

• Terminal Style: PC Pins

• Mounting Type: Vertical Through-Hole

The compact structure allows designers to optimize PCB layouts while maintaining easy accessibility for manual operation.

Its rectangular actuator provides clear tactile feedback and comfortable operation, making it suitable for products that require frequent mode selection or configuration changes.

The switch's dimensions also enable integration into devices where internal space is limited without sacrificing functionality.

Through-Hole PC Pins Improve Mechanical Stability

The KH-SS26D01-G6 utilizes PC pin terminals designed for through-hole mounting.

Compared with some surface-mount alternatives, through-hole construction offers enhanced mechanical strength and long-term reliability, particularly in demanding operating environments.

Advantages include:

• Strong solder joint integrity

• Excellent vibration resistance

• Compatibility with wave soldering processes

• Reliable electrical connections

• Efficient mass production capability

The vertical mounting structure further enhances design flexibility by making effective use of available PCB space.

For industrial equipment, communication systems, and control devices where durability is essential, the through-hole design provides an additional level of operational security.

RoHS Compliant for Global Environmental Standards

Environmental compliance has become a critical requirement for electronic product manufacturing worldwide.

The Kinghelm KH-SS26D01-G6 is fully compliant with RoHS regulations, ensuring that restricted hazardous substances are controlled throughout the manufacturing process.

Benefits of RoHS compliance include:

• Compliance with international environmental regulations

• Support for global market access

• Alignment with sustainable manufacturing practices

• Enhanced product credibility for export projects

By selecting RoHS-compliant components, manufacturers can simplify certification processes and support environmentally responsible product development.
