Tiny tactile switches extend lifecycles

Sealed to IP57 specifications, the KMT0 series tactile switches feature a lifespan of more than 300,000 electrical and mechanical cycles. The SPST NO switches are constructed with silver plating and are available with four operating forces: 1.0, 1.6, 2.3, and 3.4 N. Maximum overload is 30 N.

Actuator height is 0.2 mm, and the integrated actuator allows for simpler button design while yielding a tactile ratio of up to 30%, providing sharp feedback (low tactile ratio of 10% is available for hearing aids and headsets). The RoHS-compliant and halogen-free switches measure just 2.6 x 3.0 x 0.65 mm, with a body height of 0.45 mm. (Call company for pricing and availability.)
