July 24, 2009 -
With terminal spacing that conforms to 2.54 mm PCB grid, JB Series 10 mm square switches with straight PC, feature slanted terminals to provide spring type action, ensuring secure PCB mounting. SPST switches with momentary circuit feature rubber seal construction, operate at -25 to 70°C, and are rated at 50 mA at 24 Vdc and 125 mA at 24 Vdc maximum for standard and high operating force models, respectively. Choice of 2 actuator heights and red, green, or yellow LED colors are offered.
NKK Switches Announces JB Series of Illuminated Subminiature Tactile Switches
Series offers design engineers greater flexibility and cost savings
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (July 21, 2009) - NKK Switches, the world's leading designer and manufacturer of innovative electromechanical switching devices, announces the availability of the JB series of illuminated subminiature tactile switches. Designed for the unique challenges facing many of today's engineers, these switches provide a flexible solution to meet the demand for aesthetically pleasing designs while at the same time reducing costs.
JB Series switches provide engineers with full face illumination in a selection of LED colors in red, green or yellow. An array of cap styles and colors including flat translucent, flat with lens and diffusers or button framed can also be specified.
In addition, design engineers can choose from two actuator heights, and between standard or high operating force in relation to the series' sturdy dome contacts - the high operating force models offering more pronounced feedback to help ensure positive circuit transfer.
Custom keyboards can also be designed with switches and caps already installed and fit through panel cutouts. Unique legends can be easily added via laser etching, also provided by NKK Switches.
The switches are 10mm square, with straight PC. Terminals are slanted to provide a spring type action, ensuring secure PCB mounting that prevents dislodging during wave soldering. Terminal spacing conforms to standard .100" (2.54mm) PCB grid.
The JB Series also features a rubber seal construction that prevents contact contamination and allows automated soldering and cleaning. The process sealed construction also helps provide a long mechanical and electrical life of 5 million operations minimum.
The JB Series switches are single pole single throw (SPST) with a momentary circuit and rated at 50mA@24V DC maximum for standard operating force models, and 125mA@24V DC maximum for high operating force models. Operating temperature range is -25 to 70 degrees Celsius.
A leading designer and producer of electromechanical switches, NKK Switches offers one of the industry's most extensive selections of illuminated, process sealed, miniature, specialty, surface mount and programmable switches. NKK manufactures more than 3.5 million toggle, rocker, pushbutton, slide, rotary, DIP rotary, keypad and keylock switches, each of which can be used as the foundation of a customized design. All switches are designed and manufactured to provide the quality and dependability that has made NKK the benchmark for reliability for over half a century.
NKK continues to lead the industry in responding to the needs of the marketplace with innovation, high reliability, customization and a commitment to excellence. The company provides a full suite of customization solutions that include: design, programming, printing and support. Downloadable 3D CAD models of the company's switches are available, allowing design engineers to quickly integrate complex models into their designs at no charge. NKK maintains a complete network of qualified representatives and distributors through the United States, Canada, Central and South America, Europe and Asia.
Engineers who design the human-machine interface for their products rely on the broad product line, specialized design expertise and customer support of NKK Switches.
