C&K Components has significantly extended the operating life of its micro-miniature snap-acting detect switch to 100 000 actuations. Available in four surface mount options, the MDS series is also 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.
The switches feature copper alloy and silver plating to ensure durability, with a maximum operating force of 50 G and an operating temperature of -25°C to +70°C. The expanded operating life and enhanced durability, combined with the multiple surface mount options, makes the MDS series well suited for telecom, medical, consumer and other applications where detecting the presence of a mechanical device is required.
The switches are RoHS-compliant and feature a 100 m contact resistance. They offer a total travel of 2,9 mm and a contact rating of 300 mA @ 30 V d.c. Their mounting bracket ensures a robust right-angle engagement with handle mechanisms or enclosures.
