PCB SMD Illuminated Tact Switch

The 7x7mm PCB SMD Illuminated Tact Switch is a compact and versatile component designed for surface-mount technology (SMT) applications. With its small 7x7mm footprint, it offers a practical solution for electronic designs that require tactile feedback and visual indicators, all while saving valuable space on the PCB. This switch integrates both a tactile switch mechanism and an LED light source, providing users with a responsive physical interaction and a clear visual status signal, making it ideal for a wide range of electronic applications.

Key Features of the 7x7mm PCB SMD Illuminated Tact Switch

  1. Compact 7x7mm Form Factor

    • The 7x7mm size is optimized for space-saving designs, making the switch ideal for applications with limited real estate, such as handheld devices, compact controllers, and portable electronics.
    • The small footprint allows for efficient integration into densely packed PCBs, maintaining performance without sacrificing space.
  2. Surface-Mount Design (SMD)

    • The switch is designed for automatic assembly on PCBs, streamlining the manufacturing process and reducing labor costs.
    • SMD components are placed directly onto the surface of the board, which minimizes the height of the switch and enhances design flexibility for modern, compact devices.
  3. Built-In LED Illumination

    • Integrated LED provides clear visual feedback, making it easier for users to identify the status of a device or system in low-light environments.
    • The LED is available in a variety of colors, such as red, green, blue, or white, and can be used for indicators like power on/off, status changes, or error alerts.
    • Some models may feature RGB LEDs, offering a wide range of color customization for more sophisticated feedback systems.
  4. Tactile Feedback Mechanism

    • The switch incorporates a tactile mechanism, ensuring a distinct physical "click" or snap when pressed.
    • This feedback enhances the user experience by confirming the successful activation of the switch, reducing the risk of accidental presses and improving usability.
  5. High Durability and Long Life

    • Built to withstand up to tens of thousands of cycles, the 7x7mm PCB SMD illuminated tact switch is highly durable, ensuring long-term performance in demanding applications.
    • The switch is designed to resist environmental factors like moisture, dust, and vibrations, making it reliable in a variety of settings, including automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics.
  6. Low Power Consumption

    • The integrated LED consumes minimal power, making this switch suitable for battery-operated devices or energy-efficient designs.
    • The tactile mechanism itself does not require much power, contributing to the overall energy efficiency of the device.
