Our KS01 Series is a cost-efficient and versatile range of PCB tactile switches, ideal for a wide array of applications.
Choose from a range of cap shapes, customisable legends and LED illumination options.
What is a Push Button Switch?
Push button switches are – usually small – electromechanical components used in a wider circuit within an electronic device. Push button switches are available in a variety of shapes, sizes, heights and depths to suit the specific application. These switches are often plastic or metal, and are designed to be easily pressed, to either turn the device on, or to operate single or multiple functions.
What is a Tactile Switch?
The KS01 switch series supports momentary function with a ‘tactile’ click. When the button is pressed, the click-y feel and sound response lets the user know that the operation has been performed.
PCB Push Button Switches
A PCB switch is a switch that is directly mounted onto a PCB (Printed Circuit Board). Surface mount PCB switches (SMD/SMT) are designed to sit flat, directly on top of a PCB. Through-hole (‘thru-hole’) PCB switches are inserted into a drilled hole on the printed circuit boards and soldered to pads on the opposite side.
Momentary Function
The KS01 Series switches are momentary functioning. This requires the switch to be pressed to turn on and off. When the switch is pressed, the actuator only activates for that ‘moment’, and then returns to its normal state when the finger or hand is removed.
Key Features of the KS01 Series
- DIP top actuated
- Long operating life
- Several caps and LED colour options
- Several cap legend options
Caps and Legends
The KS01 Series supports a range of caps and legends allowing us to create endless possibilities to support your design. Below are some examples of the available legend options. For more options, speak to our Sales Engineers direct.
LED Illumination Options:
Our KS01 series supports single or bi-colour LED illumination.
Single LED illumination means that the PCB switch will illuminate 1 chosen colour.
Bi-colour LED illumination means that the PCB will alternate between two LED colours.
You can also choose to have non-illuminated caps instead.
Applications:
Our KS01 Series Push Button switches are commonly used for a range of applications, from commercial to domestic purposes. These switches can be used for any electronic device or function that needs to be turned on or off.
Some industry examples include: Audio & Broadcast, Video Production and Medical Equipment.
