Now with three choices of actuation forces (1.6N, 2.8N, and 4N), the KSC TE extends C&K’s high lifecycle miniature tactile switch product portfolio.
In addition, by offering much longer lifecycles, the KSC TE helps ease the design cycle and outperforms the competition for its size and force range.
These tactile switches are suitable for a wide range of demanding applications in the industrial, elevator, gaming, and computer peripherals markets.
‘It is the combination of a soft actuator and a revised internal structure that enables the KSC TE to provide such high lifecycles and reliability,” says C&K’s Regis Clement, “we are the first to offer this solution in the market with a 6mm x 6mm form factor. This will have a major global impact within the industry.”
The soft actuator allows for easier tolerance management with possible pre-load, and at an IP67 rating it offers strong protection against dust and water ingress.
