Alps SKCC Double Action is a double action switch in the Alps SKCC Series.
The switch follows the general characteristics of the SKCC family, consisting of an upper and lower housing, contact module, stem, and spring.
However, there are many additional parts and changes. The top and bottom housings are unique, fitting together entirely differently to the rest of the series. There is a flat blister switch as the second stage at the bottom of the switch, similar to that seen in Alps SKCP Double Action. Feedback for the second stage is produced via a leaf spring on top of the top housing that is pressed by the slider at the very bottom of the travel.
There is a German patent for the switch which contains some information. It is as yet untranslated, but drawings show it to clearly be this switch.
