1x2 Mechanical Optical Switches Electrical Driving Information 

The switch is actuated by applying a voltage pulse. Applying one polarity pulse, one light path will be connected and latched to the position. Applying a reversed polarity pulse, another light path will be connected and latched to the position after pulse removed. 

 

Parameter	Minimum	Typical	Maximum	Unit
Driver Voltage	4.5	5	5.5*	V
Driver Current	110	140	195	mA
Pulse Duration	0.2	0.3	0.5	ms

 

Driving kit with USB and TTL interfaces and Windows TM GUI is available. We also offer RS232 interface as an option –please contact coreray sales.

Port 3→Port 1	GND	5V Pulse

 

 

1x2 switch

Optical Path	Pin 1	Pin 2
Port 1→Port 2	GND	5V Pulse
Port 1→Port 3	5V Pulse	GND

 

The typical driver voltage of single stage is 2.5V.

Over this value will damage the device.
