RAFI MICON, RACON, and RF tactile switches come in a range of sizes and operating forces. This makes them variable enough for any application. RAFI tactile switches impress with exceptional haptics and tactility.
Thanks to the higher IP 54/X7 degree of protection, MICON 5 S (sealed) tactile switches can be installed on PCBs protected against environmental influences by casting, painting, or nanocoating. In combination with the extensive range of accessories, the MICON 5 S is a universal solution for almost all applications. Various lengths, forms, and illumination options are available.
The new MICON 5 SL is the answer for applications with very frequent operation of the tactile switches. With an operating life of up to ten million operating cycles, the MICON 5 SL (sealed & extended lifetime) is the ideal solution for joysticks and other control devices that have to withstand high stress. The SL types are available in SMT and with two different operating forces.
On the smallest possible area, the MICON 5 SAFETY not only integrates the exceptional qualities of the MICON 5 S, but also features two potential-free, separate NC and NO contacts. This makes it unique in this size worldwide.
Its properties enable especially cost-effective and space-saving design for applications developed to industry-specific functional safety standards – for example:
IEC 61508 Basic functional safety standard
IEC 62061 Safety of control systems
IEC 60601 Medical electrical equipment
ISO 26262 Road vehicles
DIN EN 50128 Railway applications
DIN EN ISO 13849 Safety-related parts of control systems
DIN EN ISO 25119 Control systems for agriculture and forestry
Small key switch with a big impact: The tactile switches of the MICON 5 series stand out for exceptional tactile feedback. The gold contacts guarantee reliable operation.
Just like the MICON 5 S, the RACON ST (sealed & extended temperature) is fully sealed and can therefore be used on PCBs protected against environmental influences by casting, painting, or nanocoating.
Thanks to the extreme temperature resistance from -40°C to +125°C, RACON ST is an excellent solution for automotive applications or similar applications in the open air. A tight, rugged and gold-based contact system adds extra toughness and switching reliability. The result: absolutely reliable control for at least one million operating cycles.
The RACON ST seamlessly fits into your control system. This series offers the right tactile switch for every project: The RACON 8 ST and RACON 12 ST types are distinguished by different dimensions and operating forces. Both are available in SMT and THT versions.
The RF series from RAFI offers you a milestone in key switch development which has become industry standard today. The RF 15 measures 15 x 15 mm, while the RF 19 comes in the dimensions 19 x 19 mm. Outstanding qualities of the tactile switch are its full-area illumination, excellent tactility, and exceptional acoustics. All this makes it especially suitable for low profile data entry systems with keycaps or overlays.
The KN 19 short-travel mains switch is unique worldwide and can reliably switch up to 6 A with an operating travel of only 0.55 mm. That makes it ideal for membrane-covered, low-profile data entry systems. This means that the mains switch does not require any cut-outs in the overlay and the KN 19 can easily be integrated in the overlay design. The standard overall height of 9.7 mm means you can combine the mains switch with other RAFI tactile switches and electronic components on a shared PCB.
