The C&K COMPONENTS PVA short stroke key switch is a versatile solution for applications requiring a compact and reliable switching mechanism. Its short stroke to latch design provides a positive feel and reduces actuation force, while the wide variety of actuator heights allows for customization to meet specific ergonomic requirements. Adapted for medium power applications, this switch is commonly used in automotive systems (air conditioning, lighting), industrial equipment, and control panels. The switch is RoHS compliant and available in both DPST (PVA1) and DPDT (PVA2) configurations, offering flexibility in circuit design. Users can mix and match options to create a switch tailored to their needs, although some configurations may require development.
