Right-angle, side-actuated detect switch

27 May 2009 Switches, Relays & Keypads

C&K Components has developed a micro-miniature, side-actuated, right angle detect switch in a low profile package. Designated the SDS series, the compact detect switch sits just 2 mm off the PC board while delivering 2 mm overtravel and a low actuation force of only 75 grams.

In addition to medical and consumer electronics, the SDS Series detect switches are suitable for detector applications in server blades, hot swap applications, copiers, smart card and PCB lock cam detection, and anywhere detecting the presence of a mechanical device is required; the switches are frequently used in ATCA applications.

Offered in SPDT-NO and SPDT-NC configurations, the switch is available in right angle PCB-mount style. It is available with either silver or gold contact and terminal plating, depending on the application. Contact rating is 100 mA at 12 V d.c., with a maximum contact resistance of 100 m. Mechanical and electrical life is 50 000 operations, and operating temperature ranges from -40°C to +85°C. The switches are pick-and-place compatible and available in bulk or tape-and-reel packaging. The SDS series is RoHS-compliant and compatible.
