[Ultra Mini/Horizontal Double Action Switch : HKW0731]
 
Ultra Mini/Horizontal Double Action Switch
 
 Hosiden has developed a horizontal double action switch which belongs to the industry’s smallest class. The new switch occupies only 40% volume of its previous product. Depth: 3.2mm and thickness: 1.2mm, both critical sizes for practice, are the world lowest level. Accurate click feeling has been achieved with the Hosiden original double dome structure as well as existing vertical double action switches. This switch can be mounted directly on hard- substitute as a lateral key, and contributes to the cost reduction of the set since sub-FPC becomes unnecessary.
