Newton, Mass. — C&K Components has developed a family of miniature slide switches designed specifically for applications where height or surface area is restricted.
Applications include mobile telecommunications, remote control equipment, computer peripherals, instrumentation, and test and measurement equipment.
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 miniature 1.5-mm high AYZ series slide switches can be right-angle and surface mounted. The switches are available with one or two poles, double- and triple-throw action, and offset or side actuation. Contact resistance is less than 80 mohms, with life cycles to 10,000 operations.
The subminiature JS series slide switches feature a profile down to 0.7 mm, positive detents, high contact reliability and right or center actuation, and can be surface or through-hole mounted. Available in SPDT, DPDT and DP3T models, the switches have IR reflows to 260°C solder profile, contact rating of 6 Vdc at 3 A and life cycles to
5,000 operations.
Similar to the JS series slide switches, the JSM series switches also feature positive detents, IR reflow to 260°C solder profile, and can be surface- or through-hole mounted. The JSM switches are offered in SPDT, SP3T models and feature maintained and momentary functions. Contact rating is 4 Vdc at 0.3 A, with a lifespan to 10,000 cycles.
The PCM series ultra-miniature, surface-mount slide switches are available in SPDT and SP3T models. Contact rating is 6 Vdc at 0.3 A, with a mechanical life to 50,000 cycles. The switches are available in tape and reel packaging.
Pricing: JSM series slide switches are priced from $0.60 to $0.70. The switches are offered in 1,800-piece reels.
