It has fully switching travel compatibility with existing products on the market (making it simple to replace previous switch devices without needing to alter the fundamental design).<\/p>\n<p>By using horizontal cam actuation, the switch enables short travel of mobile contacts, thereby providing faster switching times (&lt;15ms).<\/p>\n<p>The advanced, patented design ensures that contacts are working in one direction only in controlled distances, resulting in low stress and constant contact pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Among the benefits of this are stable contact resistance, accurate and repeatable switching heights, plus high life expectancy (300,000 electrical cycles), even under harsh environment stress conditions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStrict requirements for sustained performance and reliability mean that switch manufacturers must meet the highest design standards,\u201d said Regis Clement, Automotive Solutions Manager, C&amp;K. \u201cAt <span class=\"highlight highlight-blue\"><a href=\"https:\/\/engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/rs-components-announces-expansion-of-board-and-panel-mounted-switch-portfolio-from-ck\/\">C&amp;K<\/a><\/span> we strive to go beyond customers\u2019 expectations through simultaneous engineering processes, which optimisze all our switch components with fully automated, innovative assembly techniques, guaranteeing product stability and unmatched quality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Combining a fully automated assembly process, straightforward integration with existing products and competitive price points, the new SSW Detect Switch series is available for delivery in just eight weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>C&amp;K announces its new SSW Detect Switch.
