INTRODUCTION
This specification covers the requirements for application of DIP Programming Switches (7000 and 7100 Series). The 7000 Series switches are designed for a life of 7000 cycles per pole. The 7100 Series switches are recommended for programming applications where the number of cycles is limited to 2000 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 mm (.300 in.). The 7000 series switches are black, and are available in 2 through 12 positions, while the 7100 series switches are blue, and are 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, the 7000 series switches are available with a side rocker profile (side actuated). Both series are individual single–pole, single–throw (SPST). The 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.
