Thumbwheel switch can be seen anywhere, especially it can be connected to cars and when driving, thumbwheel switch has become an indispensable part. I am going to buy a new thumbwheel switch to make my car refresh so I went to a retailing shop, satisfied with two thumbwheel switches. I am puzzled about that, so I come to this forum to turn to you to discuss which one would be more fantastic.

Here are two thumbwheel switches offered for you to choose from:
One is A7BS-207

The other is PICOD131AK2
The PICOD family offers small panel-mounted pushwheel code switches, ideally suited for high density applications. They are used for the controlling and programming of frequency synthesizers, counters and timers, data comparators, security encoders, weighing machines, etc. The dependable pushbutton action allows narrow 0.3 inch width on panel. Changes to higher or lower settings are accomplished rapidly by successive operation of the appropriate buttons. The featherweight PICOD is less than 0.6 inch high, yet
rugged enough for hand-held and portable instruments that may be subjected to field abuse. Heavy gold plating on wiping contacts affords low contact resistance for reliable operation over long periods of service. Easy-to-read characters are viewed through dust-sealed window. Installation costs are minimized by snap together design – no inconvenient hardware.
