KSC Tireless Endurance (TE) miniature tactile switch series include a 5.2mm height version that provides longer travel. Delivering an operating lifetime of up to 10 million cycles, product family simplifies the design cycle and outperforms the competition for its size and force range.
Featuring a 6mm x 6mm form factor with heights of 3.5mm and 5.2mm, device comes in three actuation forces including 1.6, 2.8 and 4N. The compact size and design flexibility gives designers more room to add additional functionality to end-products or to reduce the pcb size. A new definition of the electrical switching position starting from the pcb level combined with tighter tolerances make the integration of the switch much easier.
