C&K Components has developed two new series of pushbutton switches. The AP Series and HP Series are both sealed switches that feature extended life cycles to 1 million and 10 million actuations, respectively.

The AP and HP Series pushbutton switches are sealed to IP67 specifications, so are ideal for use in the harsh environments of off-road, industrial and medical applications.

The HP Series switches employ a hall effect design with a non-contact hall effect contact system, and a high-energy magnet provides a linear magnetic field for the hall device. The HP Series also has the ability to have redundant, linear hall devices.

Input voltage is 5VDC, with a programmable output voltage range from 0.5V to 4.5V and one or two available outputs. Actuator travel is 0.150” and operating temperature ranges from -40ºC to +85ºC. 

The AP Series switches have the ability to incorporate illumination and are available with a snap-in or threaded bushing. The switches also allow users to order the base switch with or without the cap, providing the ability to order one base switch and multiple color caps and snap on caps during the installation process to suit each specific application.

The SPST-NO, momentary action AP Series switches feature a total travel of 2.3mm. Actuation force is 2N and 4N, with a logic level current through 2A. Operating temperature ranges from -40ºC to +85ºC.
