Tactile switches can be automatically mounted on a board using reflow solder, but keytops must be installed manually. However, the use of keytop-integrated tactile switches can cut the man-hours required for manual operations, thus greatly increasing work efficiency.
Features
- Ultra-small size
- Integrated key top
- Sharp click feel
Benefits
- Contributes to thinner and more compact designs
- No assembly required
- Hassle-free installation
- Provides user assurance that switch is actuated
Applications
- Vending machines
- Security alarms
- Measuring devices
- Medical equipment
- Printers
- Copiers
- Home appliances
- Control panels
