SKQGABE010
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
Key Specifications
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.
