KAP Series Piano Dip Switches

Product catalog summary

Specifications
The document outlines the specifications for a series of switches, specifically SPST switches with 2 to 12 positions, excluding position 11. Key specifications include a switch contact rating of 25mA at 24V DC and a carry rating of 100mA at 50V DC. Insulation resistance is specified at a minimum of 100 MΩ at 500V DC, and initial contact resistance is typically 50 mΩ at 2-4V DC at 100mA, increasing to 100mΩ after the operating life of 2,000 cycles. The operating force is capped at 1000 gf, with a typical actuator travel of 2.0 mm. The dielectric strength is 500V RMS minimum at sea level between adjacent terminals, and the operating/storage temperature range is -40°C to 85°C. The switches are designed to withstand vibration and shock as per MIL-STD-202F standards.

Soldering Recommendations
For wave soldering, a temperature of 500°F (260°C) for a maximum of 5 seconds is recommended. For hand soldering, a 30W soldering iron at 608°F (320°C) for 2 seconds is typical. It is advised to keep all switches in the "OFF" position during soldering and cleaning processes.

Materials
The housing and actuator are made from glass-filled polyester (PBT) UL94-V0. Contacts and terminals are made from phosphor bronze with gold plating over nickel plating. The tape used is Mylar.

Packaging
Switches are supplied in standard IC tubes with all poles in the "OFF" position.

Ordering Information
The document provides a guide on how to order the switches, with options for actuator type (recessed or extended), seal options (standard or top tape sealed), and termination options (PC pin).

Features & Benefits
The switches feature a piano style with options for top side off or on, and a tape seal option. They are suitable for applications in garage door openers, test and instrumentation, telecommunications, and controller applications.
