Cost-effective snap-action switches deliver space savings on PCBs

C & K has launched its compact LCW series of subminiature sealed snap-action switches. When the new product was first released, the rated contact current was as high as 0.1A, which has a highly repeatable effect, making it very suitable for very high-precision detection applications, such as temperature and pressure switching in electric equipment, constant temperature control of sewage pumps, and air conditioning Vegetarian. With a hybrid actuator configuration (pin plunger, short lever, joystick and analog lever), the snap action switch is highly adaptable. Their compact size and the range of terminal configurations available make more efficient use of the available PCB area. These switches are UL 61058-1 certified, RoHS compliant, and IP67 rated, making them ideal for use in harsh environmental conditions over an operating temperature range of -40C to + 120C. Moreover, the low-priced series of switches have high reliability. They have an electrical life of 10,000 cycles to support longer life applications. "Price is a major consideration for customers of hermetic snap-action switches. Our new generation of compact LCW series subminiature switches are highly cost-effective compared to alternative products on the market. In addition to the affordable advantages of C & K, It also ensures that quality standards are maintained at all times, "said Jeffrey Phan, global product manager at C & K.
