What this switch is and where it fits
The MAX4796EUK+T from Analog Devices is a single-pole single-throw (1X1) switch in a 5-pin SOT23 package. It is designed for signal routing in portable and space-constrained equipment where board area is tight — the SOT23-5 footprint keeps the layout compact. The part is ROHS3 compliant, matching the material declaration requirements for most commercial and industrial builds.
Lifecycle and sourcing posture
For BOM planning, this removes the risk of a last-time-buy scramble. The part is ROHS3 compliant, so it passes the environmental gate for designs targeting RoHS markets.
Packaging and handling note
For pick-and-place lines that expect tape-and-reel, verify feeder compatibility or plan for manual placement. The Strip format is common for low-volume or prototype runs.
