Tactile switch from Tyco Electronics enables slim designs

Offering a space saving switch solution on the PCB, the FSM3MS tactile switch benefits from very small dimensions of only 4.7 x 4.5 x 1.65mm (w x d x h) and is available in two versions (terminals: SMD or SMD-up), with or without location pins. The version containing location pins is ideal for fixing the switch on the PCB during the soldering process.

Technical details of the FSM3MS device include a contact rating of 50mA at 12VDC, a mechanical life of 100.000 operations minimum, an actuation force of 2.2N, a travel of 0.3mm +/- 0.1mm and an operating temperature range of -20 up to +85 degrees Celsius.

The FSM3MS tactile switch comes packaged in tape and reel format and is available from stock at very short delivery times.
