Omron Alps-style switch is a provisional name for an Omron switch with a slider that is closer in shape to that of the Alps SKCL/SKCM series than the more common Omron B3G-S series switches.
Description[edit | edit source]
Unlike the better known Omron B3G-S series (of which this could potentially be a variant), the shell is completely different. The Omron branding is on the bottom.<ref name="NEC-8313-12" /> All switches discovered so far have white sliders.
The switch is slightly more compact, and has only two legs in the contact module compared to the three of the more common Omron keyswitch.
