The PTS 530 Series ultra-low-profile top actuated SMT switch is ideal for consumer electronic applications. Utilizing C&K's unique symbol line identification system, design engineers can quickly and easily identify actuation force ratings, particularly valuable for designs that incorporate multiple switches. The marking system defines the model number and actuation force on the switch itself, which eliminates the need for designers to rely on confusing schematics.
The PTS 530 Series SMT switch is only 4.5 x 4.5 with a 0.55-mm thickness (0.65 mm for high force versions), saving valuable PCB space. The small size combined with its extensive lifespan of up to 1,000,000 operations makes the PTS 530 Series satisfies multiple needs that other miniature switches cannot.
The momentary action, top actuated SMT switch features a gullwing or J-type terminal and can be soldered via infrared reflow in accordance with the IEC61760-1 standard. The PTS 530 Series switches are available in six different varieties, dependent on actuation force. The PTS 530 Series SMT switch has a maximum voltage of 12VDC. The operating temperature range is -40 to +185°F.
