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
