Micro-mini detect switches feature pendulum action

The low-profile SDT switches also feature a very low actuation force of 30g (max) and the recommended stroke to actuate the switch is 30 degrees or more off the centre line. Mechanical and electrical life is 100,000 cycles minimum and the contact rating is 1mA, 5V DC. Operating temperature is -20 to +70degC; storage temperature is -30 to +80degC. SDT detect switches are RoHS compliant and compatible.

David Webber, C&K's Product Director, comments: "The low profile and small body size saves valuable space on a PCB. The reduced package size and the flexibility of being able to actuate from either direction make this detect very popular in consumer electronics, medical devices and ATCA hot-swapping applications."
