TACT SwitchTM

6.45mm Diameter Low contact Resistance with Round Terminals (Radial type)

SKPL Series

Soft feeling, low contact resistance metal contacts and round terminals with excellent PC board mouting performance.

Features

Soft feeling type with metal contacts achieving low contact resistance.

Supplied with radial taping.

Round terminals are most suitable for radial auto-insertion/mounting onto the PC board. (reduces switch rise during mounting and also reduces cutter wear outs caused by the insert machine.)

Better solderability thanks to no rupture plane of the terminal.

Applications

For car AV equipment and car navigation systems

For various operation in audio equipment, communication devices, measuring instruments, in-car components, etc.
