Three Switches, One Less Headache – Simplify Your Next Layout

              Kingtronics International Company — Inspired by Innovation 

 

If you're designing PCBs for consumer electronics, IoT devices, or compact industrial controls, you’ve likely asked yourself this before:

“Which tactile switch model fits best—and do I need to test each one from scratch?”

The truth is, tact switch selection can be surprisingly time-consuming. With dozens of options that vary by footprint, actuation force, and electrical specs, a small component often ends up creating a big bottleneck in your layout process.

That’s why the Kingtronics SMD Tact Switch Series offers a smarter approach:
Three footprint options. One unified spec. Zero layout friction.

 Same Electrical Performance – No Revalidation Needed

All three switches in the series share the exact same core parameters:

• Operating rating: 50mA / 12V DC

• Withstand voltage: 250V AC

• Insulation resistance: ≥100MΩ

• Contact resistance: ≤50mΩ

• Actuation force: 1.6 ± 0.5N

So whether you’re using a 2.0×4.0mm layout or a 3.5×6.0mm form, you can skip the revalidation and move forward with confidence.

Multiple Footprints – Built for Flexible PCB Designs

Here’s what you’re working with:

• WKTS1020040D – 2.0 × 4.0 mm

• WKTS1035060D – 3.5 × 6.0 mm

• WKTS2035060D – 3.5 × 6.0 mm (alternate pin layout)

Choose the one that fits your mechanical design best—no electrical tradeoffs, no need to adjust tactile response, and no spec surprises during testing.

SMT-Ready for Modern Production

Every model is surface-mount compatible and reflow-process friendly. That means you can integrate them directly into your automated line without extra tooling or through-hole complexity.

Final Word: Keep It Simple

Why complicate your layout with mismatched specs and varied part behaviors?

With Kingtronics’ unified-spec SMD tact switch series, you only need to validate once—then choose the right footprint for every design.

Designing with Stability in Mind: Key Capacitor Traits Engineers Shouldn’t Overlook

              Kingtronics International Company — Inspired by Innovation 

Learn the critical capacitor traits that impact system performance – and how to choose them wisely.

Why Capacitor Selection Defines System Stability

In power electronics, industrial automation, and control applications, circuit stability is not negotiable. One faulty component — especially a capacitor — can undermine years of development and validation.

Among passive components, film capacitors are often favored for their balance of insulation strength, low energy loss, and mechanical robustness. But not all film capacitors offer the same performance under stress.

Dissipation Factor: A Hidden Efficiency Metric

The dissipation factor (DF) indicates how much power is lost as heat inside the capacitor. A lower DF translates to lower self-heating, better efficiency, and longer operational lifespan.

For most switching and filtering applications, a DF under 0.5% is acceptable. However, when long-term reliability is required, ultra-low DF products provide an extra layer of safety.

The Kingtronics FKT-MM series offers a DF as low as 0.1%, making it suitable for heat-sensitive or power-critical environments.

Thermal Stability and Electrical Integrity

Real-world conditions — such as elevated ambient temperatures or repeated switching stress — cause internal drift in many capacitor types. Parameters like capacitance, ESR, and insulation resistance can degrade over time.

The FKT-MS / MT / MM series is manufactured with high-grade film and controlled processes to ensure minimal electrical drift even under extended operating conditions.

This consistency helps avoid performance degradation in mission-critical systems.

Flexible Packaging for Design Integration

Designers are increasingly constrained by space and layout limitations. A single capacitor model with rigid form factors can create routing problems or force unnecessary PCB redesigns.

The FKT series is available in Mini Box, Stacked, and Box Type formats, with multiple pitch and lead length options. This flexibility enables easier mechanical integration without sacrificing performance.

Global Compliance and Application Readiness

Compliance with RoHS and related safety standards is critical for global deployment. All FKT series capacitors are RoHS-compliant and widely used in industrial, energy, and power control sectors.

These components are pre-qualified for international OEMs, reducing barriers for export and certification.

Solving the Hidden Power Problem in RTC and RAM Designs

In embedded systems, the real risk often hides in the milliseconds — when a sudden voltage dip silently erases memory or resets the real-time clock (RTC), leading to data corruption, time desynchronization, or even system crashes.

Designers often overlook this vulnerability during prototyping, only to discover its impact during field testing or customer complaints.

So, how do you protect volatile memory and timing circuits from power interruptions—without overcomplicating your design?

Meet the Kingtronics DKT-DA Series:
A compact 5.5V coin-type super capacitor specifically engineered for fast-response backup in RTC and RAM applications.

Why Power Gaps Break Your RTC & RAM Systems

• RTC modules lose track of time if power supply flickers
• RAM loses temporarily stored data if not flushed before a drop
• Traditional capacitors often charge too slowly or discharge too quickly
• Batteries offer capacity but degrade fast and require maintenance

These problems are invisible in stable lab conditions—but in real-world smart meters, industrial controllers, or portable electronics, they're common failure points.

DKT-DA Super Capacitor: Spec’d to Solve These Issues

Feature	Specification
Rated Voltage	5.5V
Surge Voltage	5.8V
Capacitance Range	0.1F to 1.5F
Operating Temp	-25°C to +70°C
Cycle Life	500,000 cycles at 25°C
Configurations	C / H / V mounting types
Applications	RTC, SRAM, smart meters, UPS modules

Thanks to its ultra-low ESR, quick response time, and maintenance-free design, DKT-DA ensures your system has enough energy to bridge micro-outages, letting microcontrollers properly shut down or store critical state.

Fit Your Design, Not the Other Way Around

With various mounting options and compact footprints (as small as Ø11.5mm × 6.4mm), you can choose a model that fits snugly into your PCB without redesigning your layout.

Examples:

• DKT-DA5R5C104 – 0.1F, 5.5V, Ø13.0 × 6.5mm, 5mm pin
• DKT-DA5R5H105 – 1.0F, 5.5V, Ø18.7 × 6mm, 20mm pin
• DKT-DA5R5V155 – 1.5F, 5.5V, Ø18.7 × 20.2mm, 5mm pin

Applications You Can Trust It In

• Smart meters (timestamping & memory logging)
• RTC modules (timekeeping during micro-cuts)
• SRAM buffers (volatile data protection)
• UPS controller boards
• Automotive electronics & industrial sensors

Wherever data integrity matters and power isn't always stable — this is your solution.

No Maintenance, Long Life, RoHS Compliant

No batteries to replace. No special charging circuit. Just robust energy buffering when you need it most — up to 500,000 cycles of reliable operation.
