Product catalog summary
Concept Overview: The KSC Series tactile switch by C&K Components offers extensive customization options to meet diverse application requirements. It is a versatile system where actuators, domes, and housings can be combined to achieve desired dimensions, haptics, and environmental resistance. This flexibility allows the KSC Series to meet specific customer needs in terms of haptics and durability.
Key Features:
  • Domes: Central to the tactile switch, offering actuation force up to 6.5N and haptic feedback. Over 20 dome types are available, supporting a long operating life from 300K to 5,000K cycles.
  • Actuators: Influence switch height and tactile effect, with various types available to match tactile and acoustic responses.
  • Housing: Integrates electrical functions, with silver and gold plating options for corrosion resistance. Offers IP67 sealing, with top or side actuation options.
  • Common Specifications: Sealing IP67, voltage range 12mV DC – 32V DC, current range 1mA to 50mA for silver, 0.1mA to 20mA for gold, power 0.2VA (gold) / 1VA (silver), operating life of 300K cycles, dielectric strength > 250V rms, contact resistance < 0.1 Ohm, insulation resistance > 10M Ohm, bounce time < 1 ms.
Applications:
  • Automotive: Ideal for interior controls and exterior applications like door handles due to its haptic and acoustic tuning, IP67 rating, and durability.
  • Industrial: Suitable for harsh environments, with applications in lift buttons and industrial sensors due to its rugged sealing and long life.
  • Medical: High reliability and steam cleaning resistance make it suitable for advanced medical systems and surgery tools.
  • Aircraft: Used in pilot control units for its high reliability and specific haptic requirements.
Ordering Information: Standard part numbers are available on the C&K website, with specific features and configurations detailed for different applications. Contact local sales representatives for product availability and technical specifications.
