The low operating force, as well as the stainless steel or plastic lever options, make these reset switches a reliable solution for applications that require durability and ruggedness due to challenging environments, said Vinny Acampora, product manager for C&K Components.
The LF Series has a quick make/quick break design mechanism which assures a reliable operating position. The RoHS-compliant switches feature an operating force of 0.53oz/15g and 0.35oz/10g. The electrical life is 100,000 cycles at 5 Amps @ 250 VAC, and the switch offers a moveable contact of fine silver with a stationary contact of fine silver on copper alloy. Operating temperature ranges from -40°C to +95°C.
