Overview

The TL1105BF160Q is a standard 6.00mm x 6.00mm tactile switch designed for through-hole mounting. It features a SPST-NO (Single Pole Single Throw, Normally Open) momentary circuit configuration with a 9.50mm actuator height for easy access through enclosure panels. This non-illuminated switch is rated for 50mA at 12VDC and provides a reliable 160gf operating force.

Why Choose This Part

The 9.50mm actuator height allows engineers to bridge the gap between the PCB and the device housing without requiring custom extensions. Its silver-plated contacts ensure reliable electrical switching over a wide temperature range of -40C to +85C. The standard 6.00mm footprint and through-hole PC pin termination make it easy to integrate into both manual and wave-soldered production workflows.

Applications

Consumer Electronics
Ideal for interface buttons on home appliances, remote controls, and white goods.
Industrial Controls
Used as a reset switch or configuration button on internal PCB assemblies.
Test Equipment
Provides tactile feedback for user input on handheld or benchtop instrumentation.
Peripherals
Commonly used in keyboards, mice, and computer hardware for momentary signaling.

Getting Started

When designing your PCB footprint, ensure a 6.00mm x 6.00mm outline with standard lead spacing for through-hole pins. While no specialized software is required, engineers should verify the mechanical clearance for the 9.50mm actuator height relative to their enclosure thickness. For prototyping, the 160gf actuation force provides a distinct tactile click that is suitable for general-purpose user feedback.
