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:

The advertisement does not clearly differentiate between AKM and AKC, calling both types “switch”. AKM itself is described as follows:

There is some implication that AKM is the modular keypad system and AKC is the individual switch unit but this is not certain.
