C&K Releases EL Sealed Tact Switches as a High Volume, Competitively Priced Solution to Your Tact Switch Needs

     C&K has developed a versatile sealed tact switch that can be used in a variety of applications across major markets. Aiming at similar products on the market, EL tact switches combine a common design height and operating force, while providing a longer lifespan than the competition with up to 200,000 operations.

     The EL series is an excellent addition to C&K's tact switch portfolio, addressing basic needs such as sealing at a very competitive price. The EL measures the standard market size of 6.2 mm x 6.2 mm, with heights of 3.5 mm and 5.2 mm, making our design a 100% replacement for competitor switches. With an IP67 rating, the EL series is ideal for harsh environment applications. Rest assured that your switch will remain sealed throughout use. The flexible feel allows for easier integration of front/rear key travel. The EL is sold at a low price with only 4 configurations and no other options to guarantee the best cost-effectiveness.

     Compared to competitor tact switches, the EL series has a longer lifespan and can achieve 200,000 operations under both 2N and 3.5N pressure conditions. The standard size of EL is widely used in the industrial, medical, consumer and home appliance markets.

     Regis Clement, Global Product Manager at C&K, said, "The compact EL Series tact switches give designers the flexibility to design the switch into the most common applications. Creating a high-quality, low-cost switch is not that easy, but C&K did it. "
