Overview

The B3F-1000 is a standard 6mm square tactile switch from Omron, designed for high-reliability PCB mounting. It features a flat plunger design and a standard 100g operating force, providing tactile feedback for user interfaces in a wide range of electronic devices. This through-hole component is a 4-pin device without a ground terminal, suitable for logic-level switching up to 24VDC.

Why Choose This Part

This switch is engineered for longevity with a robust mechanical life and a crisp tactile feel. Its standard 6x6mm footprint makes it a drop-in replacement for most industry-standard tactile switches, ensuring ease of sourcing and design-in.

Applications

Control Panels
Providing user input for industrial control interfaces and membrane-style overlays.
Consumer Electronics
Function selection and power buttons for home appliances and handheld devices.
Prototyping
Commonly used on breadboard-compatible modules and evaluation boards for momentary input.
Instrumentation
Mode switching and menu navigation in laboratory and measurement equipment.

Getting Started

The B3F-1000 is a through-hole component that can be easily integrated into a PCB layout using a standard 6.5mm x 4.5mm hole pattern for the pins. When designing the circuit, ensure pull-up or pull-down resistors are used to prevent floating states when the switch is open. It is compatible with standard wave soldering processes for high-volume production.
