C&K: New Mini SMT Tactile Switches


Newton, MA — C&K Components has developed a new series of SMT top-actuated, momentary action tac- tile switches with a miniature foot- print, several color-coded actuation force options, and an optional ground pin configuration. Rated for an oper- ating life of 100,000 cycles, the PTS 641 Series switches meas- ure only 6.3 x 6.3mm and have three board-mounted profile op tions of 2.5, 3.1, and 3.4mm, which makes them suitable for use in metering, white goods, and home and garden equip- ment applications. The new switches are


RoHS-compliant SPST, top- actuated, momentary action devices with several color- coded options for operating force ratings and travel dis- tances. The blue actuator designates 160gf ±50gf oper- ating force and 0.20mm ±0.15mm travel; the red actuator designates 250gf ±50gf operation force and 0.20mm ±0.15mm; and the black actuator designates 320gf ±80gf oper-


ation force and 0.30mm ±0.15mm travel. Contacts are rated for 50mA (max) and 12VDC (max) with bounce time of <5ms, and operating tempera- tures spanning –20 to +70°C. The PTS 641 Series switches


are supplied in 1,500-piece tape-and- reel packaging.

Florence, KY — The new BLA high resolution light array from Balluff is the solution to meet the need to iden- tify different objects during the man- ufacturing process, packing, or quali- ty control. This sensor identifies, compares or sorts objects based on minimal size or height differences. The intuitive nature of the


High Res Light Array from Balluff Inc.


device makes it easy to use. It con- sists of a powerful red-light laser and a high-resolution CCD receiver and operates completely independently — without any other accessories such as a controller, PC or special soft-


ware. The Balluff BLA light array has a range of up to 2m and resolu- tion of 0.01mm. The multifunctional device of -


fers numerous modes of measure- ment such as object diameter, object position, gap width, gap position, edge position, etc. In addition, the user can use intuitive, on-device but- tons to teach-in up to six different objects and blank out disruptive objects in the measuring field (blank- ing). Parallel use of the different measuring modes is also possible: checking the diameter of the object at the same time as determining the position of the object.


High resolution monitoring sensors. The BLA is very versatile, even


in particularly harsh conditions, due to its robust metal housing. it can be used for: high-precision position monitoring and detection; quick and easy sorting of parts according to size and/or diameter; quality assurance and monitoring, heights of objects, gap sizes, etc.; precise detection of web edges, even with semitranspar-
