MX keyboard switch is tested to 50m operations
An MX key module, designed to fulfill the demanding reliability requirements of computer and data input keyboards, gaming consoles and industrial control HMI systems, has been introduced by Cherry. The CHERRYMX features a high reliability mechanical switch with gold crosspoint contacts and a fast and positive actuation. Standard options include integrated LED illumination, decoupling diode or wire bridge and a 4mm actuation travel.
The MX switch provides a single-pole contact rated at 12VDC with a durability of 50m operations and a range of actuation types, travels and pressures. Standard actuation is linear with a pressure point click, and travels 3.0 to 0.5mm with an initial force of 25cN. Standard contact lead spacing is 19.05mm with snap-in frame fastening or PCB solder pins. LED illumination is available in red, green or yellow.
The IP40 rated keyboard switch features a working temperature of -40 to +70°C and can operate with up to 95% non-condensing humidity. Insulation materials are formed from UL 94 HB thermoplastics.
For low profile applications, a ML key module is available. The CHERRYML offers 20m operations, an actuator travel of 3.0-0.5mm and nominal 18mm lead spacing for PCB mounting.
