C&K introduces their new series of detect switches with extended lifetime and instant detection capabilities. Developed for use in next-generation communicating devices, including smart meters, alarms, and point of sale terminals, ATS switches deliver a cost-effective solution for applications that require reliable detection against opening or hacking of devices.

C&K’s ATS series features a compact format at 6 mm x 3.8 mm footprint area and a low profile. With its 3.2 mm height, and a soft actuator, the switch offers a significant mechanical travel of 1.1 mm. This includes an over-travel of 0.4 mm to provide designers an easy integration.

The ATS switch is IP54-rated and resistant against corrosive agents, making it an ideal solution for harsh environments and anti-tampering applications.
