Light Weight Mitsumi KAM Dummy Switch is a dummy variant of Light Weight KAM that lacks a contact module or any form of contacts.

Characteristics

This switch has a yellow top housing which indicates that the switch uses a lighter weight spring than a standard KAM switch.

This switch is used in conjunction with the similarly colored and weighted Light Weight KAM on some typewriters in order to stabilize longer keys.1)
