Alps AKM series
Contents
Overview
AKM is an Alps Electric series of an unclear nature. AKM and AKC were advertised together in Electronics magazine in November 1972, and were described as follows:
- 4-block keyboard switch AKM Series
- Mechanical contact point keyboard switch AKC Series
The advertisement does not clearly differentiate between AKM and AKC, calling both types “switch”. AKM itself is described as follows:
Four different key blocks give you any key arrangement you like. The low cost, thin design and light weightness are all packed in this latest developed, highly dependable switch.
There is some implication that AKM is the modular keypad system and AKC is the individual switch unit but this is not certain.
