Designated the MDMA Series, the connectors are fully interchangeable with ESA Micro D Connectors (ESA ESCC specification 3401-029) and MIL-DTL-83513 products, and feature removable crimp contacts that also meet ESA requirements.

C&K Components has developed a family of miniature slide switches designed specifically for applications where height or surface area is restricted. Including the AYZ, JS, JSM and PCM Series devices, the ultra-low profile slide switches are suitable for momentary or momentary and latched operation.

The new CR series of panel mount rocker switches from C&K Components feature a unique round actuator and body, making them ideally suited for small and large appliances, office equipment, computers, peripherals and other applications.

C&K’s new SDT series micro-mini, surface mount detect switches have a pendulum-style construction sitting just 3.3 mm off the board. The pendulum-style actuation allows devices to be actuated from either side or the top.

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 detect switches are implemented on the server blade as a safety mechanism to guarantee the blade is powered down, while ensuring no data is lost.

C&K Components has developed a 14-function navigation switch. Designated SensoNav, the switch combines sensitive touch and tactile functions while guaranteeing an extended life span of 1 million actuations per direction.

C&K Components has developed a versatile silent detect switch with a variety of orientations. Designated the KSJ Series, the single pole, single throw, normally open detect switch features high actuation tolerances along with silent and linear operation during actuation with no tactile effect.

C&K Components has developed a series of sealed subminiature snap action switches. Designated the ZMS Series, the single pole, double throw snap action switches are available with a variety of actuators and terminal styles, including PC, solder and potted leads.

C&K Components, a leading international supplier of tact switches, toggle, rocker and pushbutton switches, and smart card interconnect devices, has developed new versions of sealed through-hole subminiature tact switches. Designated the KSA family, the tact switches consist of the KSA, KSL, KSB, KSI, KSFI, KSJ and KSD devices. The switches are available in a variety of configurations, including vertical and right angle mounting, top or side a...

C&K Components has developed an ultra-miniature, surface mount, side-actuated DIP switch. Designated the TDP Series, the half pitch switch features a dual bifurcated wiping action that ensures reliable contact.
