C&K Components has developed a variety of detect switches for use in ATCA (Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture) applications. Designated the MDS series, SDS series, SDT series and HDT series, the switches are implemented on the server blade as a safety mechanism to guarantee the blade is powered down, while ensuring no data is lost.
As opposed to switches in ATCA applications which have traditionally been through-hole mounted, these switches are surface mount products. While most ATCA applications are used in network and telecom servers, the detect switches are also being increasingly employed on advanced mezzanine cards (AMC) for improved data integrity in military, datacom and medical applications, including black boxes and high-end ultrasound equipment.
The family of detect switches includes:
* MDS series micro snap-acting detect switch available in vertical and right-angle PCB mount, with 2,9 mm travel.
* SDS Series side actuated detect switch with low 2 mm profile and 2 mm overtravel.
* SDT Series micro mini pendulum detect switch with top or side actuation and low 3,3 mm profile.
* HDT Series micro mini detect switch with top or side actuation and low 3,35 mm profile.
