IP67-rated tactile switches offer precise specification for electrical height

Littelfuse has introduced an upgraded specification for the C&K Switches KSC2 sealed tactile switch product line. 

The surface-mount KSC2 series switches are IP67-rated, 3.5 mm high momentary-action tactile switches featuring a soft actuator. The switches are available in several models and provide various options for electrical lifespan and operating force. The switch footprint is 6.2 mm x 6.2 mm.

The KSC2 tactile switches offer superior durability, and provide clear tactile feedback, making it easier for users to know when an input has been registered. 

Now Littelfuse has improved the suitability of the switch for use in high-precision board assembly processes by tightening the specification for device height. The new specification guarantees reliable electrical connections by precisely defining the distance between the actuation point and the bottom contact. By tightly specifying the electrical height of the KSC2 switches, Littelfuse enables manufacturers to confidently apply reduced tolerances in board assemblies.
