Overview

The TL1100CF160Q is a right-angle tactile switch featuring a 12mm x 12mm footprint designed for through-hole mounting. It utilizes reliable dome contact technology to provide crisp tactile feedback and an audible click upon actuation. With a 160gf operating force, it offers a balanced response suitable for general-purpose user interface applications.

Why Choose This Part

This switch provides a distinct tactile and audible response, ensuring users receive clear feedback in high-noise environments. Its right-angle mounting configuration allows for edge-of-board placement to facilitate side-access user interfaces without requiring secondary PCBs. The dome contact technology ensures high reliability over the component's mechanical life.

Applications

Consumer Electronics
Integration into household appliances and handheld devices for power or mode selection.
Telecommunications Equipment
Used in networking hardware and PBX systems for reset buttons or configuration toggles.
Industrial Controls
Reliable interface for machinery control panels and instrumentation interfaces.
Audio/Visual Gear
Front-panel buttons for mixers, amplifiers, and professional media players.

Getting Started

When designing for the TL1100CF160Q, ensure the PCB footprint accounts for the right-angle support pins to maintain mechanical stability during actuation. Engineers should verify the 160gf force is appropriate for the intended actuator cap weight to prevent accidental triggering. This switch is rated for up to 12VDC, making it ideal for standard 3.3V or 5V logic signal levels.
