Munich, Germany, August 02, 2019 – Alps Alpine Co., Ltd., a manufacturer
of high-quality electronic products, has added a model with 0.9mm travel
to its
SKSU Series
compact, middle-stroke TACT Switch™ lineup. The SKSUBCE010 realizes push
clarity along with quiet operation and a distinct click, suitable for
automotive use.
The newly developed product’s 0.9mm travel places it at the longer end
of the middle stroke range. While retaining the quiet sound and distinct
click feel made possible by combining rubber and metal for an original
contact structure, the new model delivers a clearer push sensation, both
enhancing the clarity of operation and satisfying demand for a premium
operating feel. The SKSUBCE010 also incorporates a pre-stroke design – a
feature of existing automotive TACT Switch™ products – helping to
prevent rattling* while integrated into the end product. Because the
SKSU Series has mounting compatibility with the existing SKTQ Series,
customers using an existing product can choose the best operating feel
for their vehicle brand without having to modify the board design.
Alps Alpine, which has developed and manufactured around 27 main types
of TACT Switch™ for automotive use, responds to the needs of
manufacturers by making ongoing additions to its already diverse feel
variety and will keep on contributing to a more comfortable experience
for vehicle users.
