WK02 is a high-performance fingertip switch specifically designed for critical applications across various industries, including broadcasting equipment, security systems, automation technology, medical devices, and optical instruments. It combines durability and precision, utilizing a Hall-effect sensor to ensure reliable operation in demanding environments.
Featuring an operating angle of ±24° and a 5V DC power supply, the WK02 delivers precise tactile feedback while maintaining low power consumption (12mA). Its 5 million-cycle mechanical lifespan makes it ideal for high-frequency operations in broadcast systems, industrial automation, medical devices, security controls, and optical instrumentation. The Hall-effect sensor eliminates mechanical wear, providing bounce-free switching and resistance to dust, moisture, and vibration.
Available in both spring-return (momentary) and 3-position detent (latching) variants, the WK02 offers flexibility for diverse control needs. With an extended operating temperature range (-40°C to +70°C), it performs reliably in harsh indoor and outdoor settings.
Compact yet robust, the WK02 is designed for easy panel integration and can be customized for specialized applications. Whether used in surgical robotics, CNC machinery, or broadcast switchers, it ensures long-term accuracy and durability where conventional switches would fail.
