Overview

The TL3315NF160Q is an ultra-low profile tactile switch from E-Switch, measuring 4.50mm x 4.50mm with an extremely thin height profile. It features a surface-mount design with gull-wing termination and provides a reliable momentary SPST-NO contact with 160gf operating force.

Why Choose This Part

The primary advantage is its very low profile design, allowing for high-density vertical stacking or use in thin-enclosure applications. The snap dome mechanism provides clear tactile feedback with a standard 160gf actuation force, and the gull-wing leads ensure robust surface-mount soldering for high-volume automated assembly.

Applications

Consumer Electronics
Ideal for slim hand-held devices such as remote controls and portable media players where vertical PCB clearance is limited.
Medical Devices
Used in compact diagnostic equipment and patient monitoring interfaces that require tactile user feedback.
Telecommunications
Suitable for compact networking hardware and mobile communication devices for reset or user input functions.
Computer Peripherals
Perfect for slim keyboards, mice, or side buttons on portable computing hardware.
