Navigation switch in a tiny package
C&K Components has developed a 14-function navigation switch in what it says is the smallest package available on the market. The SensoNav switch combines sensitive touch and tactile functions in a package size measuring only 9.9x11.3x2.0mm. “The SensoNav switch was developed as an alternative to touch pad technology, and because it utilises a combination of switch signals to the software in one device rather than adding another switch, pad or component, a significant amount of space is saved,” says Jerome Smolinski, senior product manager for C&K Components. “The switch also employs the same driver that drives the keyboard in significantly less space, so not only is space minimised and design simplified, but cost is reduced.”
