Slim switches support a
superior feel

A new range of low profile, keypad switches from ITT Electronic Components combines high performance, usability and robustness with an extremely fast switching response and a pleasant, tactile feel.

Embodying an extremely slim switch design, the KMX Series is a mere 0.58mm thick, and with a footprint of only 4.3mm x 4.1mm it also saves PCB space. Its normally open contacts close with an audible click produced by a robust mechanism that is certified for 250k cycles. And with a long travel distance, it also supports a better feeling for the user than a standard keyboard switch.

Four gull-wing terminals attach the switch to the board, providing good co-planarity and reliability, while stand-off terminals ensure space is left under the switch for PCB tracks. Each incorporates a ground pin for ESD protection, and is available with or without an integral actuator, KMX1 or KMX2 respectively, to provide it with bettercentered actuation. Gold and silver contact plating options are supported.


KMX Series: Slim, fast, robust - and highly tactile

The KMX series switches are suited to a multitude of applications requiring acomfortable, miniature, robust keypad with a long life. These include PDAs, smart phones, MP3 players, cameras, keyfobs, and systems requiring a customized keyboard interface. The Series meets the requirements of the RoHS Directive.
