SMD tact switch with cap

The SMD (Surface-Mount Device) tact switch with cap is a compact, reliable switch used in various electronic devices and applications. The switch is mounted directly onto a printed circuit board (PCB) and is designed to be activated by pressing the cap. The cap provides a user-friendly interface and helps in guiding the pressing action.

Key Features:

• Type: SMD Tactile Switch
• With Cap: Includes a cap for easy pressing and improved tactile feedback
• Mounting Type: Surface-mount for easy PCB integration
• Actuation Force: Typically designed for low actuation force
• Switch Function: Momentary contact (normally open; closes when pressed)
• Durability: Designed for many cycles of operation

Technical Specifications:

• Package Type: SMD (Surface-Mount Device)
• Cap Type: Plastic or rubber cap for tactile feedback
• Actuation Force: Typically ranges from 100g to 500g (varies by model)
• Contact Rating: Generally rated for 50mA to 100mA at 12V (varies by model)
• Contact Resistance: Typically 100Ω or less
• Insulation Resistance: Typically 100MΩ or more
• Life Cycle: Rated for up to 1,000,000 cycles
• Operating Temperature Range: -20°C to +85°C

Applications:

• Consumer Electronics: Used in devices like remote controls, calculators, and handheld devices
• Industrial Equipment: Integrated into control panels and user interfaces
• Automotive: Utilized in dashboards and control systems
• Medical Devices: Employed in compact medical equipment and interfaces

Usage:

1. PCB Mounting: Solder the SMD tact switch to the designated pads on the PCB.
2. Cap Placement: Ensure the cap is securely placed on the switch for proper operation and tactile feedback.
3. Testing: Test the switch to ensure it functions correctly and provides the desired tactile response.
4. Integration: Integrate the switch into the final assembly and connect it to the necessary circuits or components.

Caution:

• Handling: Handle with care to avoid damaging the switch or cap.
• Soldering: Follow proper soldering techniques to avoid overheating or damaging the switch.
• Compatibility: Ensure the switch is compatible with the design requirements and PCB layout.
