Precision Sine Switches FEATURES Hermetic seal provides exceptional operational freedom from environmental conditions Compactly designed to fit small, narrow spaces Available with either screw or solder lug type terminals Snap acting sine switch provides exceptional resistance to shock and vibration Embedded leads are available Lead lengths can be supplied to customer requirements INTRODUCTION The Klixon KX Series ally sealed sine switch is a precision snap acting device. It is designed for use in the aerospace industry and for other applications where operational freedom from environmental conditions is a requirement. KX series switches are sealed within a one-piece steel case engineered to withstand extremely low or high ambient pressures. True sealing is achieved with a metal wave type diaphragm at the actuating lever. The actuating arm is keyed to hold the arm in alignment and to prevent damage to the diaphragm. The switching element is the versatile Klixon sine switch. This simple, one-piece element eliminates knife edges and high friction joints. Rigidly supported at both ends and accurately prestressed in tension, the sine switch features outstanding resistance to shock and vibration. Klixon switches have been used in a variety of aircraft, weapons systems, aircraft engine and aerospace applications for well over 30 years. A brief listing of typical applications include: Door interlock systems Aircraft engine ignitions Aircraft missile launcher position indication External stores emergency jettison switches Stowed / deployed indication for thrust reversers Safety ignition indication for military jet engines Radar pod door switches Tank/armored personnel carrier missile launcher switches Tank gun turret position indication KX 4 4 Seal Epoxy Sealed (class 4) Hermetically Sealed (class 5, MIL-S-8805) Max Ambient Temperature KX4-60 F (7 C) KX5-75 F (35 C) KX5-375 F (9 C) Terminals Solder Lug 5 Screw 3 KX Series http://www.sensata.com
