Tactile switches feature tunable sound level
C&K Components is introducing a series of sound-tunable tactile switches. Designated the KSC ST Series, the design of the switch enables the sound intensity to be controlled, with the ability to match the sound level of applications with two sound intensity grades.
Eric Grange, C&K Components' product market manager, explains: "Typically, sound effect is a result of the switch design and is not controlled. However, with the materials selected and design of the KSC ST Series switches, we are able to tune the switches to meet the customer's specified sound level in accordance with the final product design, such as matching the sound with shape and colour."
C&K is also able to ensure continuity of the sound when a printed circuit board is populated with a number of switches. The KSC ST series switches feature a range of sound intensity levels from high (>50dBa) to low (
The KSC ST series sound tunable switches are suitable for a variety of automotive applications including steering wheels, HVAC, dashboards, door, seat and sunroof modules, as well as industrial control panels and medical and consumer applications.
Pricing for the KSC ST Series sound tunable tact switches starts at $0.19 in quantities of 10k to 100k.
