C & K Illuminated Tactile Switch, Green Button, SPDT, 100mA, 32V DC, 4mm Actuator, IP40

The C & K K5V1 GN 43 T illuminated tactile switch is designed to deliver high-performance momentary switching in demanding industrial, network, and electronic applications. Featuring a green button actuator and gold-plated SPDT dome contacts, this tactile switch supports signal switching up to 100mA at 32V DC with robust reliability. Its distinctive tactile response and audible click are engineered for operator assurance and ergonomic efficiency in repeated use scenarios.

With a compact body measuring just 9.45mm in length, 8mm in width, and 12.4mm in height, this switch is suitable for applications where board space is at a premium. Designed for PCB through-hole mounting, integration into custom panels and circuit designs is straightforward and secure, making it an excellent choice for control hardware, communication panels, and automotive electronics. The illuminated actuation, enabled by high-brightness LEDs, provides clear visual status feedback and is particularly effective in low-light industrial environments or operator panels where identification speed is critical.

Engineered for durability, the K5V1 GN 43 T offers a 4mm actuator length, enhancing control and reducing accidental operations. The switch is constructed for a mechanical life of up to 25,000 operations, supported by gold-plated contacts that improve electrical performance and minimize contact resistance. Insulation resistance is rated at greater than 1GΩ initially, maintaining over 10MΩ after environmental damp heat testing, ensuring reliable signal integrity in a range of service conditions.

Application flexibility is reinforced by a wide operating temperature range, suitable for environments from -40°C up to 85°C, and by an IP40 ingress protection rating, which guards internal components against solid objects larger than 1.0mm. Operating force is set at 4N, balancing actuation comfort with positive feedback. The switch supports a minimum voltage operation from 20mV DC and accommodates a current as low as 0.1mA, making it ideal for both sensitive and robust electronic circuits.

This illuminated tactile switch finds applications in server interfaces, networking equipment, instrumentation control panels, automotive dashboards, storage hardware, and medical equipment user interfaces, where reliability, identification, and space efficiency are critical to system design.
