Standards & Certifications
Flammability Standards:
UL94V-0 lower housing
The KP Series pushbuttons have not been tested for UL recognition or CSA certification.
These switches are designed for use in a low-voltage, low-current, logic-level circuit.
When used as intended in a logic-level circuit, the results do not produce hazardous energy.

Miniature Audio/Video 4-Pin RGB Pushbuttons
Series KP
Distinctive
Characteristics
KP series offers a complete switch solution for all broadcast panel needs,
including the newest line of RGB LED options with four terminals.
Distinct, long total travel of .177” (4.5mm) for KP01 or shorter stroke
of .138” (3.5mm) for KP02.
The super bright RGB LED provides vibrant full color spectrum in
unlimited color combinations.
Unique actuation guide gives positive indication of circuit
transfer as well as smooth and silent operation.
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.
Improved profile for soldering specifications.
Custom legends are available.
