September 26, 2008 - Sitting 3.3 mm off board, SDT series micro-miniature SMT detect switches offer pendulum-style actuation that allows devices to be actuated from side or top. Actuation forces reach 30 g, and recommended stroke to actuate switch is 30° or more off center line. Featuring mechanical and electrical life of 100,000 cycles min, RoHS-compliant products are designed to save space on PCB in consumer electronics, medical devices, and ATCA hot-swapping applications.

Microminiature Pendulum SM Detect Switch Allows Side or Top Actuation

Stands just 3.3mm off the board

C&K's new SDT series micro-miniature surface mount detect switches have a pendulum-style construction sitting just 3.3 mm off the board. The pendulum-style actuation allows devices to be actuated from either side or the top.

The low profile SDT range also features a very low actuation force of 30g (max) and the recommended stroke to actuate the switch is 30 degrees or more off the center line. Mechanical and electrical life is 100,000 cycles minimum and the contact rating is 1mA, 5VDC. Operating temperature is -20 to +70degC; storage temperature is -30 to +80degC. SDT detect switches are RoHS compliant and compatible.

Comments C&K's Product Director: "The low profile and small body size saves valuable space on a PCB. The reduced package size and the flexibility of being able to actuate from either direction make this detect very popular in consumer electronics, medical devices and ATCA hot-swapping applications."
