This Product Selection Guide contains information to help select products in the Programmable Display Switches category on DigiKey.com
Products in the programmable display switch family combine display functionality as an electrically controllable switch label or legend based on OLED, LCD, E-ink, or similar visible display technology with a switch function for user interface purposes.
SelectionCharacteristics
Type: Refers to the specific combination of display technology and actuation mechanism.
Display Mode: Describes the color and display technology incorporated in a device.
LED Color: Describes the color of the LED used to back-light the display on the switch face.
Viewing Area: The dimensions of the portion of a display that is usable for showing images or characters.
Face Size: Overall dimensions of the switch face.
Pixel Format: Refers to the resolution or size of the display screen in terms of the number of pixels it can accommodate.
Circuit: Describes device function in terms of several poles and throws, as is typical for mechanical switches. For more information please see Switch Basics, Examples of Pole and Throw.
Switch Function: Refers to the specific operation or behavior of a switch, indicating the primary purpose or mode of operation. For more information please see Switch Basics, Examples of Pole and Throw.
Contact Rating @ Voltage: Typically this represents the maximum current to which a device’s contacts will meet their given specifications at a given voltage. Exceeding this current may damage the device and other system components.
Supply Voltage: Typically represented by a range, this indicates the low and high voltage limits one can expect in standard operation. Voltages outside this range may damage the device and other system components.
Mounting Type: Indicates how the device is attached.
Termination Style: Selection of termination style used to connect the device to a system, such as a PC pin or connector.
Operating Temperature: Recommended operating temperature, typically given in a range or as a maximum. Exceeding these temperatures may affect performance or damage the device and other system components.
