Development of a "Double Dome  Switch (Mid-Mounting Type)"with high contact reliability

We are pleased to announce that we have commenced sales of our "Double Dome Switch (Mid-Mounting Type)", which adopts a "spring contact system", thus expanding our lineup of dome switches.
　This product was developed for devices with operating buttons, such as volume adjustment and forward/rewind, on the housing side face.
There is a demand for increasingly compact and thin electronic components in small device markets, such as mobile phones and smartphones. In addition, the increased reliability of switches is demanded to prevent them becoming detached from the PWB due to impact caused when assembling or using equipment.
We have secured　contact reliability by adopting a "spring contact system", which has gained favorable reviews as a 1-dome switch that can respond to such market needs.
Further, this product is a mid-mounting type that enables equipment to be designed more easily because the switch control panel is positioned towards the center of equipments' housing.
