C&K Components has developed a family of right-angle pushbutton-type switches. Designated the
ELUM Series,
the switches are available with or without LED illumination, and feature three
different snap-on cap covers. The pushbutton switches will reportedly
eliminate the need for a separate LED and light pipe on a PCB.
"The compact design of the ELUM switches… saves space on the PC board,
enabling product miniaturization and greater on-board functionality,
said David Webber, company products manager.
The company states that the switches feature a 6mm profile, are
available in both through-hole and surface mount configurations, and
have self-cleaning contacts. Product ratings range from 0.01mA to 250mA
and 20mV to 50VDC, with claimed RoHS-compliance, are compatible with
high-speed reflow soldering processes, and have a 30,000 cycle life
expectancy.
