Following on from an ultra-quiet 8mm tact switch in May, C&K has launched a ‘soft sound’ 12mm mid-travel tact switch, also aimed at automotive use. Called the SFS 12 Series, they are designed to have a positive haptic feeling and last for at least 300,000 cycles (1million cycles disconnected). There is a choice of actuation force: ...
