Product Details Supplier Info More products

C and K Components is offering its micro-miniature, snap-acting detect switch in four surface-mount options that are said to be ideal for use in telecom, medical, consumer and other applications.

Designated the MDS series, the detect switch is available in vertical and right-angle PCB mount and through-hole versions, which now include surface-mount options of left with pins, left with no pins, right with pins and right with no pins.

It is ideal for use in applications where detecting the presence of a mechanical device is required, and, according to CandK, is a good fit for datacom, computer and telecom applications.

With these four new options, the series is available in more than a dozen termination styles that allow them to be designed into an array of end products.

The MDS with the surface bracket ensures a robust right-angle engagement with handle mechanisms or enclosures.

CandK offers designers the ability to have an SMT surface plate or an SMT surface plate with alignment posts, opening from the right or left.

The small-package MDS series is RoHS compliant and provides a 200mohms contact resistance.

The snap-acting, tactile feel switches offer a long total travel of 2.9mm and a contact rating of 0.3A at 6VDC.

The mechanical and electrical life is 10,000 operations while copper alloy and silver plating ensure durability with an operating force of 65g and an operating temperature of -25C to +70C.
