KAP Series Piano DIP Switches
The KAP series piano DIP switches employ a reliable wiping contact mechanism that ensures stable contact at low resistance. Available features include:
- Gold plated contacts (over nickel)
- A choice of recessed or extended actuators
- High temp materials
- UL94V0
- A choice of top-side “OFF” or topside “ON” configurations
- Top tape sealed versions designed to withstand wave soldering and board washing
Applications for the KAP series piano DIP switches include:
- Garage door openers
- Test & instrumentation
- Telecommunications
- Controller applications
