Knitter-Switch now has a range of illuminated pushbutton switches that have the same dimensions as its existing nonilluminated models.
Tact switches are designed for surface mounting
The latest addition to Knitter-Switch's extensive range of pushbutton switches is a new series of "tact" switches designed for surface mount applications.
Miniature pushbuttons fulfil the needs of industrial users offering 250V AC mains rated contacts and additional features such as, waterproofing, heavy duty action, snap action and electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection.
A wide range of caps, buttons, bezels and LED illumination are available for panel builders.
The subminiature and microminiature ranges of switches offer a wide range of contact and mounting options for makers if instrumentation and control panels.
With contact operation up to 30V DC at 650mA maximum switching current these PCB or panel mounting switches may be hand or auto-soldered.
An alternative to the usual metal switch action is a silent operation rubber version that is widely used in audio and broadcast applications.
LED illumination is also available on many models in these ranges.
The recently added family of subminiature tact switches completes Knitter-Switch's pushbutton switch catalogue.
Operating at 12, 24 or 48V DC these low profile switches may be auto-soldered and surface mount assembled.
Supplied in sticks or taped the switches are fully washable.
"There are a very large number of applications for pushbutton switches", says Terry Moss, General Sales Manager for Knitter-Switch UK.
"We have one of the widest ranges available worldwide and can offer industry standard models at very completive prices and short lead-times".
Knitter-Switch uses all-UL-approved materials and contacts in both silver and gold.
Switching options include SPDT, DPDT, 3PDT, 4PDT on-momentary, off-momentary, on-on, normally open and normally closed.
The complete range of pushbutton switches are available from stock and from a number or franchised distributors throughout the UK and Europe.
