C&K has announced the launch of its new SDB DIP switches. The new DIP switch provides product designers with a cost-effective solution for applications that require a low-profile switch for space savings on PCB layouts. The SDB DIP switch has a high operating life cycle under load and comes in thru-hole or surface mount models with additional tape and reel packaging available.

C&K has launched its new KSC PF switch, aimed at giving designers a next-generation switch solution that is compact yet resilient to water ingress – and made to be potting friendly.Designers of applications in the automotive and medical device industries often need to ensure that the switches and components they use can withstand harsh environments – including liquids that could leak in during everyday use, or during the after-use...

It has been announced by C&K that they are introducing the new SSW Detect Switch. This next-gen double pole double throw (DPDT) device will enable customers to improve functional safety in their electronic designs. It is defined by several key features, including built-in redundancy, self-failure detection and lack of bi-stability with controlled switching time.

A major expansion of switching products from C&K has been announced by RS Components. It includes devices for mounting on both panels and printed circuit boards. The extension of the portfolio available from RS includes a full selection of PCB- and panel-mounted pushbuttons, DIP switches, key switches and tactile switches.

The Internet of Things (IoT) has been anointed as the harbinger of Industry 4.0, a state in which factory automation devices are integrated within information technology (IT) platforms such as manufacturing execution systems (MES), enterprise resource planning (ERP) and business intelligence (BI) systems to create significant efficiency and productivity gains.

A new series of switches has been announced by C&K, aimed at giving designers of portable electronics the low profile, reliable and long-lasting switches they need to power the next-gen of devices. C&K’s KXT3 series were built to meet the specific needs of those engineers creating hearing aids, smart watches, activity trackers, action cameras and gesture controllers.

Automobiles today have more computing power than a fighter jet from the 1960s.There has been a huge influx of electronics integrated throughout a vehicle, including the engine, power train, chassis, body systems, comfort systems, active safety and Driver’s Assistance Systems (ADAS). The value of all this technology is upwards of 30% of the automobile’s total production cost. Eric Grange of C&K explains.

High-quality electromechanical switches brand, C&K, has announced the launch of its PNP series sealed pushbutton switches. The PNP series is intended to close the internal product gap between the AP and NP series and is available via Rutronik.

The C&K KMR Series microminiature top-actuated tactile switches has been made available by TTI. The KMR Series includes IP40, IP67 and ultra-low current versions which can be designed into many applications, including those exposed to harsh environmental conditions.According to TTI, these applications include those in the automotive, medical and industrial markets where switches need to be waterproof or fluid resistant and fit tightly populat...

Consumer electronics, particularly the portable variety, require advanced components that combine miniaturisation with ruggedness. These design objectives can be difficult for engineers to meet without sacrificing performance, functionality or operating life. Author: Jerome Smolinski, Senior Product Manager, C&K
