C&K’micro-mini pendulum detect switch allows side or top actuation

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

Comments David Webber, C&K’s Product Director: “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.”
