The C&K micro touch switch combines the longest service life in the industry with higher starting power

     After C&K introduced the revolutionary KSC TE ultra-durable tap switch (with a lifetime of 10 million cycles at 1.6N starting power, the highest in the industry), today, Our new switches have a service life of 5 million times at the larger 2.8N and 4N starting forces - once again, these tiny touch switches have the longest service life in the industry and measure just 6mm x 6mm.

     The KSC TE switch is now available in three starting forces (1.6N, 2.8N and 4N), expanding C&K's portfolio of long-life micro-touch switches and allowing design engineers to find the perfect choice. In addition, by significantly extending service life, the KSC TE switch helps shorten the design cycle and outperforms the competition with its size and range of forces. These high-performance touch switches are ideal for a variety of demanding applications in the industrial, elevator and gaming industries.

     Regis Clement, global Product Manager at C&K, said: "The name Super durability says it all, the soft starter and the modified internal structure give the KSC TE switch such a long service life and such high reliability. We are the first to offer this solution in the 6mm × 6mm switch market. This will have a significant impact in the global industry."

     The need for costly maintenance or replacement of switches is reduced due to their high reliability. Its compact size (only 6.3 x 6.2 x 3.5mm) allows designers more room to add additional features to the device or reduce the size of the PCB. The soft starter simplifies tolerance management in possible preloading situations, while the IP67 protection rating also provides effective dust and water resistance.
