Mitsumi KAM Double Action is is a double action switch in the Mitsumi KAM Series.

Characteristics

This switch typically has a white slider and a milky top and bottom housing. The slider has a small but very heavy spring coil spring embedded in the bottom of the slider which will hit the nubs on the bottom of the bottom housing when the switch appears to bottom out. If pressed very hard though the heavy spring will further compress and the switch will actually bottom out. Like all double action switches, KAM Double Action actuates once when pressed normally, and actuates a second time as the heavy spring in the slider is compressed.
