Reset switches in stainless steel, plastic

C & K Components, international supplier of electronic switches and smart card interconnect devices, has developed a robust and compact reset switch with low operating force for ease-of-use and activation precision.

These switches, designated as the LF series, are designed for use in pump and furnace controls. The LF Series offers a quick make/quick break design mechanism which assures a reliable operating position.

The RoHS-compliant switches have an operating force of 0.53oz/15g and 0.35oz/10 g. The expected electrical durability is 100,000 cycles at 5A @ 250 VAC, and uses a movable contact of fine silver with a stationary contact also of fine silver on copper alloy. Operating temperature ranges from -40°C to +95 degrees C.

Product manager for C & K Components, Vinny Acampora explains, "The low operating force, as well as the stainless steel or plastic lever options, make these reset switches a reliable solution for applications that require durability and ruggedness due to challenging environments."
