CTS : Adds New 222J/K/L/M/P/S and 223J Series Waterproof Tact Switches and announces intent to add Illuminated Tact Switches

Lisle, IL - CTS Corporation (NYSE: CTS) has added two new waterproof tact switch series, the 222J/K/L/M/P/S and the 223J Series to the tact switch product family. These new tact switch series are designed to be waterproof and are an excellent choice for many extreme operating conditions. The actuators on many of these new tact switches are made of soft silicone rubber to provide a softer tactile feedback to the user. These new products were developed to accommodate applications in the industrial, medical, and transportation markets.

The 222J/K/L/P and the 223J Series are sealed to IP67 standards in a compact size of 6.2mm x 6.3mm; the 222M/S Series are sealed to IP57 standards in a compact size of 6.4mm x 6.6mm and 6.0mm x 3.8mm. The optional travel of the soft actuators range from 0.25mm to 0.7mm among the different part number series. These new product series will be available starting in February.
