Dimensions and Physical Characteristics
- Size: 6mm x 6mm (base dimensions) with a 17mm height, which usually includes the actuator (the part that is pressed).
- Actuator Length: 17mm, which is quite tall and suitable for through-hole mounting on a PCB, allowing it to protrude through the casing of a device.
Features
- Momentary Action: The switch is normally open and closes when pressed, returning to the open position when released.
- Tactile Feedback: Provides a noticeable "click" feel when pressed, giving the user feedback that the switch has been activated.
- Mounting Type: Through-hole or surface mount, with the through-hole type being more common for this size.
- Actuator Shape: The actuator is typically a cylindrical plunger that protrudes from the switch body.
Applications
- Consumer Electronics: Used in devices such as remote controls, calculators, and other handheld electronics.
- Industrial Equipment: Suitable for control panels, instrumentation, and other industrial control applications.
- Automotive: Utilized in dashboards, control switches, and other automotive electronics.
- Medical Devices: Used in diagnostic equipment, handheld devices, and other medical apparatuses.
Environmental Specifications
- Operating Temperature: Usually ranges from -20°C to +70°C.
- Storage Temperature: Typically from -40°C to +85°C.
- Humidity: Often rated to operate in environments with 85% relative humidity or less.
