New from C+K Components, the SensoNav is a novel 14-function navigation switch that combines sensitive touch and tactile functions while guaranteeing an extended life span of 1 million actuations per direction "Most navigation switches employ either a five-way switch or a pad, but we have combined these technologies to create the only 14-function navigation switch currently available on the market", says Jerome Smolinski, Senior Product Manager for C+K Components

"While other navigation switches aren't surface mountable or compatible with pick-and-place equipment, SensoNav is compatible with standard SMT lines and doesn't require power consumption, all while enhancing device functionality".
The combination of sensitive and tactile technology enables the standard five-way centre, up, down, left and right directions with tactile feedback, free direction scrolling on the sensitive level, as well as two scrolling directions with variable speeds and four scrolling directions with double speeds.
Typical applications for the SensoNav switch include portable games, mobile phones, MP3 players and universal remote controls.
