TE Connectivity Slide Actuated Tactile Button Switch, SMD, 160gf

The TE Connectivity Slide Actuated Tactile Button Switch offers precise, tactile feedback in a compact surface-mount design. Part of the FSMMST Series, this SMD component is engineered for reliable operation in a wide range of modern electronic applications, providing a clean and stable switching action. Its side-actuated design allows for flexible integration into space-constrained PCB layouts where top-down access is not feasible. The distinct 160gf actuating force ensures a positive tactile feel, helping to prevent accidental operation while giving the user clear confirmation of a successful switch engagement. With a contact rating of 50mA at 12V DC, it is well-suited for low-power signal switching tasks in control circuits and digital interfaces.

This non-illuminated switch provides a simple, cost-effective solution where status indication is not required. Its robust surface-mount construction ensures reliable soldering and stability during the assembly process, making it an ideal choice for automated production lines. The compact footprint minimises board space usage, allowing for higher component density in sophisticated electronic designs. Manufactured to high-quality standards, this switch delivers consistent performance and longevity, making it a dependable choice for engineers and designers.
