EPA SERIES
EDGE ACTUATED SMT TYPE

FEATURES

  • SMT edge actuated type is (SMT Piano Type) easy setting on closely racked PCB.
  • Tactile response is performed directly by larger contact pressure to ensure stable contact.
  • All UL 94V-0 fire retardant plastics used.
  • Bottom epoxy sealed to ensures free of flux immersion during wave soldering.
  • Contact wiping on make and break.
  • Gold plated contacts to ensure low contact resistance and long mechanical life.
  • Ideal for data processing, communication, remote controls and burglar alarm system use, where manual programming is required.

APPLICATIONS

  • Numerical setting for computer terminal equipment
  • Price setting for vending machines
  • Programming for game machines
  • Programming for industrial equipment and measuring instruments
