KSC DCT Tactile Switches with Dual-Circuit Technology Optimized for Automotive and Industrial Applications

Littelfuse has announced the release of the KSC DCT Series Tactile Switches, which feature surface-mount technology (SMT) and IP67-rated sealing. The KSC DCT (Dual Circuit Technology) series is built for a wide range of applications, including automotive, industrial, medical, and residential use. These switches are made to provide users with a positive and versatile tactile experience. 

These switches provide a single pole double throw (SPDT) feature which offers two outputs and one input from a single tactile switch; this design increases reliability in the switches.
