uxcell Tactile Push Button Switch Through Hole 3x6x4.3mm 50pcs

Description

Product Overview

The uxcell momentary tactile push button switch is engineered for precision and durability in a compact 3 × 6 × 4.3 mm form factor. Its through‑hole mounting style simplifies integration into printed circuit boards, while the combination of high‑grade plastic housing and metal contact elements ensures a consistent tactile response and long‑term reliability. The switch features a 6 mm pin pitch with 5 mm long pins, providing a secure solder joint that can withstand repeated actuation cycles without degradation. With a total of 50 units per pack, designers have the flexibility to prototype, test, and deploy multiple devices without worrying about component shortages. The black and silver‑tone finish not only matches a wide range of aesthetic requirements but also offers resistance to environmental factors such as dust and moisture, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Usage

This tactile switch excels in a variety of industrial and consumer scenarios. In control panels for machinery, the momentary contact action provides clear on‑off signaling for operators, reducing the risk of accidental activation. Hobbyists and makers benefit from its straightforward soldering process, allowing rapid assembly of prototype boards for robotics, IoT devices, and custom keyboards. The switch’s low actuation force and audible click make it ideal for user‑interface elements where feedback is essential, such as handheld tools, medical equipment, and test equipment. Its compact size enables dense component placement on high‑density boards, while the robust construction ensures performance under vibration, temperature fluctuations, and repeated mechanical stress.

FAQ

What is the rated current and voltage for this switch?

The uxcell tactile switch is rated for a maximum current of 50 mA and a voltage of 12 V DC, making it suitable for most low‑power control circuits and signal applications.

Can this switch be used in a waterproof enclosure?

While the switch itself is not sealed, its robust plastic housing provides a degree of resistance to moisture. For fully waterproof applications, it should be combined with an appropriate sealing method or enclosure.

Is the switch compatible with surface‑mount technology (SMT) boards?

No, this model is a through‑hole component designed for insertion into drilled holes on a PCB. For SMT designs, uxcell offers a separate line of surface‑mount tactile switches.

How does the actuation force compare to other tactile switches?

The actuation force is calibrated at approximately 160 g, offering a balanced tactile feel that is neither too light nor overly stiff, which is ideal for both user‑interface and control panel applications.

What warranty does uxcell provide for this product?

uxcell offers a standard one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. Technical support is available throughout the warranty period to assist with any integration challenges.
