Dear Friends,

Explore a compact switch designed for slim, space-constrained applications that require dual-circuit functionality. Its low power rating makes it best suited for signal-level control in industrial, medical, and consumer devices.

Find all my magazines from 2006 on in our free archive on bodospower.com. There is no better way to communicate. We all share one world. As a publisher I serve the world: one magazine, on time, every time.

Kind regards,

The C&K Dual Circuit Technology tactile switches, including the KSC2 DCT and KSC4 DCT, are engineered for high-performance applications across consumer electronics, medical devices, industrial systems, and automotive markets.

The new KSC2 DCT series features a shorter 3.5mm height actuator for compact, low-profile designs, while the KSC4 DCT provides a 5.2mm height actuator. Together, these switches empower designers to create reliable devices with precise electrical height.

Designed for surface-mount assembly, the KSC DCT tactile switches are sealed, momentary-action switches with a Single-Pole, Double-Throw (SPDT) configuration. They offer two independent output signals within a single tactile switch body, enabling self-diagnosis through accurate monitoring.

Key specifications of the new KSC2 DCT are a maximum voltage of 24 VDC, maximum current of 50 mA, and an operating temperature range of -40˚C to +85˚C.

With their robust design, compact actuator options, and built-in diagnostic capability, the KSC DCT tactile switches are ideal for demanding applications such as automotive interiors, medical instruments, industrial control systems, and elevator panels.
