Distinctive Characteristics
Actual Size
KP series offers a complete switch solution for all broadcast panel needs,
including home keys and the custom rectangular switch/cap assembly.
Distinct, long total travel of .177” (4.5mm) for KP01 or shorter stroke
of .138 (3.5mm) for KP02.
Available with super bright red/green bicolor LED and
RGB LEDs. The RGB LED full color spectrum in a switch
package provides unlimited color combinations.
Specially designed snap-in standoff for simple and
secure PC board mounting and alignment.
Unique actuation guide gives positive indication
of circuit transfer as well as smooth and silent
operation. (Patent pending).
Choices of tactile, nontactile or tactile/audible
actuation.
Compact design with height of .906” (23.0mm)
from PC board to top of cap. (Same height as
programmable SmartSwitch™.)
Flat, sculptured or home key square caps in three
common sizes for design flexibility in audio/video
applications.
Twin contacts with gold plating assure high reliability
and long life of 5,000,000 operations minimum.

LEDs are an integral part of
the switch and are not avail-
able separately.
LED circuit is isolated and
requires an external power
source.
If the source voltage exceeds
the rated voltage, a ballast
resistor is required.
The resistor value can be
calculated by using the
formula in the Supplement
section.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS FOR SQUARE CAPS
As shown in the accompanying illustration, the cap and
plunger are designed with tabs and notches to assure proper
orientation of the cap on the switch.
Holding the switch tightly, pull the cap off the switch. Once the
cap assembly is released from the plunger, the lens and diffuser can
be separated.
Pry up the lens with fingernail or flat tip screwdriver inserted at
the step on the diffuser.
After aligning notches with tabs, join the lens and diffuser.
Hold the switch tightly without touching the terminals. Firmly
press the cap onto the plunger by applying pressure from one
side to the other until both are snapped together.
