Mitsumi KAM Latching is is an alternate action switch in the Mitsumi KAM Series.

Characteristics

This switch typically has a white slider, a black top, and a milky white bottom housing. Unlike standard KAM, the top housing for this switch has a hole to accommodate an LED (although alternate action switches do not have an LED installed) and the bottom housing has a slot for a latching arm. Because of the latching arm slot, the bottom housing can only fit a single contact module, which is positioned on the opposite side of the slider from the latching arm.
