12*12 tactile button switch

The TS12 series thru-hole tactile switch offers reliable dome contact technology with strong tactile/audible feedback and multiple operating force options. You can choose between gold or silver contact material, plus multiple cap options for certain models.

The 12x12 Tactile Button Switch is a versatile and reliable push-button switch commonly used in a wide range of electronic devices. With its 12x12mm square footprint, this switch offers a larger surface area for user interaction compared to smaller tactile switches, providing a more prominent and comfortable tactile feedback experience. Its size and ergonomic design make it a popular choice for applications that require a clear, responsive actuation while still maintaining a compact and efficient form factor.

This tactile button switch operates on a momentary action principle, meaning it is active only when pressed and returns to its default position once released. It is commonly used in designs where temporary functionality is required, such as turning a device on/off, switching modes, or activating specific features. When pressed, the switch delivers tactile feedback in the form of a "click" or snap-action, giving users clear confirmation that the switch has been actuated. This is particularly important in user interfaces, where it helps prevent mispresses and ensures the correct action has been triggered.

The 12x12 Tactile Button Switch is designed to be durable and long-lasting, typically rated for millions of actuation cycles. This durability makes it ideal for products that undergo frequent usage, such as consumer electronics, control panels, keypads, and remote controls, where reliability over time is crucial.

This switch’s larger size also allows for easier user engagement, making it an excellent choice for devices where the user needs to quickly locate and press the button. Additionally, the low profile and simple installation process make it easy to integrate into printed circuit boards (PCBs) with minimal assembly effort.
