KSC Series Ultra-Long-Life Tactile Switches

C&K offers its KSC series of tactile switches which are designed to withstand intensive use

Image of C&K's KSC Series SwitchesC&K's family of tactile switches includes the KSC series. This family is designed to withstand intensive use, such as in network infrastructure and industrial electronics. They are ultra-long-life switches that can last up to ten million cycles and are available in more than 100 different configurations. These switches best match applications such as elevator and joystick buttons that require resistant switches.

The silicon and rubber actuators facilitate the switch integration with pre and post travel and provides specific haptics and acoustic responses depending on force and actuator hardness.

They exist in both SMT versions (J-bend and gull-wing) to better fit the implementation on the PCB.

Versions

  • KSC1 through KSC10 (sub-families with various actuator types, forces, plating)
  • KSC DCT (SPDT contact configuration)
  • KSC OF (overload friendly)
  • KSC PF (potting friendly)
  • KSC SLT (long travel)
  • KSC TE (tireless endurance)
  • KSC V2 (side actuated; pin-in-paste terminations)

  • Positive tactile feeling
  • J or G terminations
  • Various heights
  • IP67
Applications
  • Automotive
  • Cellular phones
  • Industrial electronics
  • Network infrastructure and IT
  • Elevators
