Overview

The SKQGABE010 is a compact, surface-mount tactile switch from Alps Alpine featuring a 5.2mm x 5.2mm footprint and a low-profile height of 1.50mm. This SPST-NO momentary switch provides clear tactile feedback with a 160gf operating force and is rated for up to 50mA at 12VDC. Its top-actuated design and gull-wing leads make it ideal for high-density automated PCB assembly.

Why Choose This Part

The low 1.50mm vertical profile enables extremely thin product designs without sacrificing tactile feel. Its wide operating temperature range from -40C to +90C ensures reliability in demanding environmental conditions. The standard 5.2mm footprint is an industry-recognized size, facilitating easier layout and potential second-sourcing.

Applications

Consumer Electronics
Used as user interface buttons in handheld devices, wearables, and remote controls where space is limited.
Industrial Control Panels
Integration into compact HMI systems for parameter adjustments or system resets.
Home Appliances
Front-panel control buttons for white goods and small kitchen appliances requiring reliable tactile input.
Medical Devices
Non-critical user input switches for portable diagnostic tools and monitoring equipment.

Getting Started

When integrating this switch, ensure the PCB footprint matches the gull-wing termination style for optimal solder joint integrity. Follow the manufacturer's reflow soldering profiles to prevent damage to the internal plastic components. No specific software drivers are required, but hardware debouncing or a 10ms software debounce routine is recommended to ensure clean signal transitions.
