COMMERCIAL & MILITARY GRADES, SUBMINIATURE DOUBLE BREAK, SNAP-ACTION

MIL-PRF-8805/76 (0.200 inches wide)

OTTO’s B3-22000 series is a sub-subminiature switch that meets

all requirements of MIL-PRF-8805/76. Designed to switch at least

one million mechanical cycles, the B3 surpasses the requirements

of the military in these categories: contact resistance less than

25mΩ, contact pressure, contact bounce and overall cycle life. For

MIL-PRF-8805/76 requirements, B3-22141 has standard silver with

gold flash contacts, SPDT double break two circuit (Form Z), solder

terminals in thermoset case material. Gold plate contacts are

available for non-military applications. UL recognized and CSA

certified models available.

MIL-PRF-8805/101 (0.156 inches wide)

For your really difficult projects, try OTTO’S B3 series. They meet

the OTTO inspired MIL-PRF-8805/101 specification. Only 0.156”

thick, think of all those extra 0.044” you can use in those tight

ganged jobs. With the B3 series, you can get an extra pole in

where only four MIL-PRF-8805/76s fit, with room to spare.

Examine the characteristics. With the MIL-PRF-8805/101, the only

thing you give up is the extra space the MIL-PRF-8805/76 takes.

Cycle life, very low contact resistance, higher than normal

contact pressures, minimal contact bounce...everything is

exactly as provided by the MIL-PRF-8805/76 specification.

For MIL-PRF-8805/101 requirements, B3-11141 (PC pin) and

B3-12141 (turret) have silver with gold flash contacts and SPDT

double break (Form Z) contact. For commercial applications,

a variety of contact forms, special forces and gold plate

contacts are available. Most versions are also UL recognized

and CSA certified.

Great circuit versatility is available with either switch style. You

have your choice of normally open (Form X) or closed (Form Y),

3 terminal (Form C) and 4 terminal (Form Z) SPDT double break.

Features:

• Low level switching capability

• Less than 25mΩcontact resistance

• Up to 8 amps switching capability

• Button accepts actuation directly from a cam

• Choice of 0.156" & 0.200" wide models

• Choice of six standard terminal styles

• Available in Commercial & Military grades

• UL recognized & CSA certified

• Qualified under MIL-PRF-8805/76 & MIL-PRF-8805/101

APPLICATIONS

OTTO sub-subminiature switches are designed to meet all

applications requiring MIL-PRF-8805/76 or MIL-PRF-8805/101

switches. Basic switches are designed for miniature spaces

where cam or other limit actuators are used. In addition, toggle,

pushbutton and lever actuators can be provided.
