NKK Switches Process Sealed Subminiature Toggle A18KP-AE

The A series is a line of sealed subminiature toggle switches designed for low-voltage, low-current logic-level circuits. It features a totally sealed body construction to prevent contamination, with terminal spacing of 0.100" x 0.100" (2.54mm x 2.54mm) to conform to standard PCB grids. The switches have a contact resistance of 50 milliohms maximum, insulation resistance of 500 megohms minimum, and dielectric strength of 500V AC between contacts and case. Operating temperature ranges from -30°C to +85°C, with a mechanical life of up to 100,000 operations for On-None-On and On-Off-On circuits. The toggle actuator has a 26° angle of throw and includes an award-winning STC contact mechanism for enhanced reliability. Terminals are epoxy sealed or ultrasonically welded, and wave soldering is recommended. The series does not carry UL or CSA certification. Package and mounting dimensions vary by configuration, with vertical and right-angle PC terminal options available.
