Tact switches come in tiny packages

Measuring just 2.6 x 3.0 x 0.7 mm, the KMT Series of ultraminiature top-actuated, double-action tact switches is ideal for applications that require an initial sensitive action followed by a tactile action, such as a shutter release on a digital camera or mobile phone. This new switch features a lifespan of more than 300,000 electrical and mechanical cycles.

The KMT5 has an IP 57 rating. The first action is sensitive (not tactile), while the second action has a tactile feeling of greater than 30%. The long operating life is due in part to a resistance to shock and vibration of 10 to 500 Hz and an operating temperature of –40° to 85°C. (Contact company for pricing — available now.)
