MRK/MRKC Catalog

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides technical specifications and features of MRK and MRKC key switches, focusing on their design, functionality, and application in printed circuit boards (PCBs).
Key Features:
  • High Contact Reliability: Utilizes gold-plated contacts with a self-cleaning, twin contact mechanism to ensure reliable performance.
  • Resistance to Soldering Heat: Enhanced by blocking heat from terminals using the PCB.
  • PCB Mounting: Designed for direct mounting with terminal pin layout in inch pitch.
  • Smooth Operation: Incorporates a steel ball in the click mechanism for smooth operation.
  • Cylinder Lock Type (MRKC): Offers a cylinder lock mechanism with various key types.
  • RoHS Compliant: Meets environmental standards.
Specifications:
  • Rating: 0.4VA max. (20VDC max.)
  • Initial Contact Resistance: 200mΩ max. (0.5mA 200μVAC)
  • Dielectric Strength: 250VAC for 1 minute
  • Insulation Resistance: 100MΩ min. (100VDC)
  • Electrical Life: 10,000 cycles
  • Operating Force: MRK: 2.94±0.98N・cm, MRKC: 2.94±1.47N・cm
  • Temperature Range: Operating: -20℃ to +70℃, Storage: -40℃ to +80℃
Part Numbering: The document details the part numbering system for MRK and MRKC series, including series code, number of poles, circuit function, key removable positions, angle of throw, and terminal types.
Key Removable Positions: Various configurations are available, with specific codes indicating removable and non-removable positions.
Standard Accessories: Each switch is supplied with two keys, with options for plastic or metal grip materials.
Soldering Instructions:
  • Manual Soldering: Use a solder iron at 360℃ max for 3 seconds max.
  • Auto Soldering: Jet wave or dip type at 275℃ max for 6 seconds max, with preheat between 80-120℃ for 120 seconds.
Precautions: The MRK and MRKC series are not washable. When cleaning the PCB, avoid exposing the switch to cleaning solutions.
