Overview

The B3U-1100P is an ultra-small, surface-mount tactile switch designed by Omron for space-constrained applications. Measuring just 3.00mm by 2.50mm with a low profile of 1.2mm, this SPST-NO switch includes a dedicated grounding pin to provide electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection. It features a top-actuated mechanism with a crisp tactile response and an operating force of 153gf.

Why Choose This Part

The B3U-1100P offers one of the smallest footprints in its class while maintaining a reliable dust-proof construction. The addition of a grounding terminal simplifies PCB layouts for ESD protection, and the 153gf operating force ensures a positive tactile click despite its diminutive size.

Applications

Portable Electronics
Ideal for compact handheld devices where PCB real estate is extremely limited.
Wearable Technology
Small footprint and low profile make it suitable for smartwatches and fitness trackers.
ESD Sensitive Interfaces
Utilizes an integrated grounding pin to protect sensitive internal circuitry from static discharge during user interaction.

Getting Started

When designing for the B3U-1100P, ensure your SMD land pattern accounts for the third grounding terminal to maximize ESD effectiveness. Follow the recommended reflow soldering profile carefully, as the ultra-small package has low thermal mass and is sensitive to excessive heat cycles.
