Tact switch 6*6*12

The 6x6x12 Tactile Switch is a compact and reliable momentary switch commonly used in electronic devices and control panels. It features a 6mm x 6mm square footprint with a height of 12mm, making it suitable for tight spaces where space is limited. The tactile feedback provided by this switch helps confirm the activation of the switch by the user, making it ideal for user interfaces and applications requiring precise control.

Key Features:

• Compact 6mm x 6mm footprint with 12mm height
• Provides tactile feedback for user confirmation
• Momentary contact action (normally open)
• Easy to mount with surface-mount or through-hole options
• Reliable switch mechanism with long operational life
• Suitable for low current and low voltage applications

Technical Specifications:

• Dimensions: 6mm x 6mm x 12mm (L x W x H)
• Actuation Force: Typically 160g ±50g (varies by manufacturer)
• Contact Rating: 50mA at 12V DC (typical)
• Contact Resistance: <100Ω
• Insulation Resistance: >100MΩ at 250V DC
• Dielectric Strength: 250V AC for 1 minute
• Operating Temperature Range: -25°C to +70°C
• Switch Type: Momentary (normally open)

Applications:

• User interface panels in electronic devices
• Control panels and keyboards
• Remote controls
• Consumer electronics (e.g., calculators, gadgets)
• Medical devices
• Automotive controls

Usage:

1. Mount the tactile switch on the PCB or panel using the appropriate method (surface-mount or through-hole).
2. Ensure proper alignment of the switch with the PCB holes or mounting pads.
3. Connect the switch terminals to the appropriate circuit connections.
4. Test the switch to ensure proper functionality and tactile feedback.

Caution:

• Avoid applying excessive force during actuation to prevent damage to the switch.
• Ensure proper handling to avoid damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD).
• Verify compatibility with the circuit’s voltage and current ratings.
