C&K KSC PF switch is compact yet resilient to water ingress and made to be potting friendly. Device is constructed to meet the size and performance requirements of products with small surface areas, while also withstanding harsh elements such as liquid and vibration. The soft actuator tactile switch combines a compact SMT form factor (6.2 x 6.2 x 5.2mm) with a potting-friendly extended cage, which improves potting level tolerance, enables faster production and increases quality. Potting is often necessary to ensure complete protection even when a sealed switch is used, but potting levels are typically difficult to control in production.
