The switches are available in a variety of configurations, including vertical and right angle mounting, top or side actuated and with a soft or hard actuator.

The sealed KSA tact switches can be configured for harsh environment applications and can be adapted for different PC board thicknesses. Suitable for automotive, consumer electronics, industrial and telecom networking applications, the RoHS-compliant tact switches have a life expectancy up to 1,000,000 operations and feature an actuation force from 1.5N to 5N, including detect version with silver and gold coatings. The KSA family of switches meets ISO9001/14001 and TS16949 standards.
