What’s a Keyboard Switch

The keyboard switch is a combination switch, usually has a group of 4, 6, 8, 12 and 16. But there is also a single key switch(YQ01-1BR/Y01).

The main difference between the keyboard switch and the ordinary button switch is:

(1) It is worked by pressing buttons to connect or disconnect a group or several groups of electrical contacts;

(2) It is usually a linkage structure;

(3) The linkage contacts on each switch are more than one group of multipole switches, rather than only one or two contacts;

(4) Once pressing any group of switches in multipole, all the other switches will be reset to the original state (except for self-locking and non-locking structures);

(5) There are interlocking, self-locking and non-locking three kinds of use of the structure for users to choose, very practical and convenient.

Keyboard switches are widely used in fan, kitchen hood, juicer, blender radio and other home appliances.
