KA Surface-mounted illuminating Switch

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document details the specifications and features of the SMT series KA, K2, and K9 SMT-compatible illuminating switches, designed for surface mounting with various button sizes and shapes.
Specifications: Button sizes include 17.4mm, 15mm, 12mm, and 9mm squares, with a high-density mounting pitch. Click rates vary: KA up to 45%, K2 up to 30%, and K9 up to 20%. Mechanical life exceeds 3 million operations.
Features: Cost-effective installation, improved quality, and enhanced mounting accuracy are highlighted. KA offers clear click feedback, K2 allows dense installation, and K9 is for 9 square buttons.
Operating Characteristics: Maximum operating force is 2.0N, with total travel of 4.0mm for KA and K2, and 2.0mm for K9. Options for audible click feedback are available.
Electrical Specifications: Maximum load is DC24V, 20mA, with insulation resistance of 100 MΩ or greater. Dielectric strengths are AC1000V between terminals and AC1500V between terminals and ground.
LED Ratings: Supports multicolor, dual-color, and mono-color emissions with gold-plated contacts and specific resistance values for different LED colors and voltages.
Soldering Specifications: Recommended conditions for reflow and manual soldering are provided, emphasizing temperature control and advising against washing the switches.
Specifications and Recommendations: Emphasizes careful handling of printed baseboards to prevent contamination and provides temperature guidelines for processing.
Filter and Button Dimensions: Details button sizes and replacement parts, specifying circuit characteristics with options for momentary click feel.
Button and LED Options: Various button shapes and LED colors are available, with filters ordered separately if no button is used.
Handling Instructions: Avoid corrosive environments, silicon, dust, and liquid exposure. Verify automatic mounting with specific machines. Terminal strength and storage conditions are crucial.
Storage and Usage Precautions: Store in controlled environments, use promptly after opening, and avoid corrosive gases and direct sunlight.
Assembly Instructions: Instructions for combining light cartridges with housings emphasize correct alignment.
Applications: Suitable for control rooms in power stations, broadcasting devices, airplane approach devices, and control panels.

KA Surface-mounted illuminating Switch-1

KA, K2, K9 SMT-compatible Illuminating Switch SMT series Surface mounting (SMT) made possible in a world first for illuminating push-button switches VNI I * Maximum 70% reduction in installation costs! Improved installation quality! ■ Helps reduce costs with a reduction in installation costs at the time of domestic production. ■ Provides stable quality due to installation by machines at the time of overseas production. ■ Reduces the tilts and twists at the time of mounting by utilizing original know-how to dramatically improve mounting accuracy. Also, there is no need for twist adjustments after mounting, so work efficiency will be increased drastically. ■ Provides a smooth operational feel due to the introduction of the ball bearing structure (KA, K2) ■ KA provides clear click feedback with a maximum 45% of the click rate. K2 achieves a maximum 30% of the click rate, and K9 a maximum 20% of the click rate. ■ Easy assembly of parts including button, filter, light cartridge, and main body. ■Smooth and easy assembly at the time of writing name on the illuminating side ■ Easy replacement of the light cartridge due to the structure that separates the main body and the light cartridge. ■ Features: KA: High frequency, high durability, and high click rate to provide clear click feedback K2: Allows highly dense installation, and provides the same level of performance as KA. K9: For a 9 square button only

SOLDERING'SPECIFICATIONS *Soldering (1) Conduct preliminary testing for confirming the soldering conditions. Switches could be deformed by heat depending on the baseboard type, pattern and round. (2) Perform soldering no more than twice, including corrective re-soldering. When soldering repeatedly, wait at least five minutes between the first and second soldering until the work cools to room temperature. Continuous heating can result in deformity of outer contours and deterioration. *Recommended conditions for reflow soldering (when attaching single terminal) Fix a thermocouple on the side of...
