Low-profile surface-mount tactile switches suit many needs

Suitable for a wide range of applications, ALPS surface-mount tactile switches are now stocked by Mouser. The low-profile switches have a distinctive tactile feel with top-push projected stems. Their projection structure helps prevent deterioration in the sharpness of the operating feel. They also feature a waterproof and dust-proof design. The SKSM Series switches, for example, measure 3.4mm × 2.9mm. They are dust and water proof compact type switches with a 500,000-cycle operating life. Applications include: personal audio, camera, health care, mobile phone / peripherals, and wearable electronics. Other ranges available include SKSW and SKSV types.
