NKK SWITCHES ANNOUNCES 25th Anniversary SWITCH GUIDE

April 5, 2006
The easy-to-use organizational structure features more than 80 switch families with 3-D cutaways, detailed specifications, and easy to follow ordering examples that aid designers in specifying the proper switch for their application. Available free by request, the 860-page guide has clearly identified four-color sections organized by actuator type, which simplifies the process of choosing the right switch. The actuator sections include: toggle, rocker, pushbutton, slide, tactile, surface mounts, rotary and illuminated switches and many more. In addition, NKK’s accessories section presents the caps, splash covers and protective guards available for specific switches at a glance. The 25th anniversary switch guide features a number of new product options including switches in the KP01, UB2 and FR series. The tactile and non-tactile rectangular KP01 pushbuttons are now available with three LEDs to fully illuminate the cap. The KP01 home key caps, which provide ease of location and navigation on a keyboard, are also featured. Additionally, the UB2 illuminated pushbuttons with alternating legend caps and the FR series with two actuator options are included in the guide.
