Tact Switch 6x6 mm Right Angled

The Right Angle 6x6 Tact Switch is a versatile and compact component commonly used in modern electronics where space is limited, but reliable user interaction is essential. Its unique right-angle mounting configuration makes it especially useful for applications requiring low-profile, durable switches that can be integrated into compact, high-density PCB designs. This switch provides tactile feedback with a satisfying "click," offering a user-friendly interface across a wide variety of devices, from consumer electronics to industrial equipment.

The 6x6 footprint of the Right Angle Tact Switch is a standard size that strikes the perfect balance between compactness and functionality. At just 6mm by 6mm, this switch is small enough to fit in space-constrained designs while still providing a reliable tactile response for users. Its compact size makes it ideal for devices with limited internal space, such as handheld gadgets, wearable electronics, and consumer appliances.

One of the most distinguishing features of this switch is its right-angle mounting. Unlike traditional tact switches that are mounted vertically, the right-angle design allows the switch to be installed parallel to the surface of the PCB, with the actuation point positioned sideways. This mounting style is particularly useful for designs where a flat or low-profile component is required, or where board space is at a premium.

The right-angle configuration allows for efficient placement and reduces the height profile of the PCB, which is crucial in many applications such as:

• Keypads and control panels where multiple switches are arranged in close proximity

• Portable electronics like handheld devices, remotes, and wearable technology

• Automotive and industrial applications where switches need to be mounted on specific orientations or in areas with restricted access
