NKK Switches NP01

NKK Switches Subminiature Smooth Actuation Pushbuttons, NP01 Series

NKK Switches offers Subminiature Smooth Actuation Pushbuttons , series NP01, with a patent pending soft touch actuation achieved by a mechanical silicon rubber structure. The pushbuttons feature a distinct, long stroke of 1.5mm (.059") and the entire cap is fully illuminated with single or bicolor LEDs. NKK Switches designed the NP01 Pushbuttons in a compact 12.5mm (.492") from the PC board to the top of the cap. The Subminiature Smooth Actuation Pushbuttons feature gold plated contacts to provide high reliability, crimped terminals to ensure secure PC mounting and to prevent dislodging during soldering, and molded-in terminals to prevent entry of flux, solvents,and other contaminants.
