We have received questions recently on how many terminals are on K16 series switches from Kacon. For example take the K16-291-G-24VDC(2371-K16-291-G-24VDC-ND), on our product detail page it lists the termination as: Solder, Quick Connect - 0.110" (2.8mm) but it doesn’t say how many and neither does the datasheet. The answer is it depends upon your specific switch model.
To find this information we have to consult the catalog on the manufacturer’s website.
To determine the number of terminals we need two pieces of information, the contact form and whether or not the switch is illuminated.
Let’s take a look at our example part number above, K16-291-G-24VDC. Using the part number breakdown on page 2 of the catalog we can see our part has contact form 1C and it is illuminated (seen below).
Once we have that information we proceed to the wiring diagram on page 16 and we can see that there are five terminations on our switch (seen below).
