Overview

The TS40-66-43-BK-260-SMT-TR is a surface-mount tactile switch measuring 6 x 6 mm with a 4.3 mm actuator height. It features a SPST (Single Pole Single Throw) contact configuration and provides a crisp tactile response with a high 260gf operating force. This switch is rated for 12V operation and is supplied on tape and reel for automated assembly.

Why Choose This Part

The 260gf actuation force provides clear haptic feedback and reduces the risk of accidental triggers compared to lighter switches. Its 6 x 6 mm SMT footprint is an industry standard, making it easy to drop into existing PCB designs, while the 4.3 mm height is compatible with common enclosure panel thicknesses.

Applications

Industrial Control Panels
Used as a user input button for setting parameters or triggering cycles in rugged industrial environments.
Consumer Electronics
Provides a high-actuation-force power or reset button for devices requiring a firm mechanical feel.
Test Equipment
Serves as a reliable interface switch for benchtop instruments and handheld diagnostic tools.
Office Automation
Integrates into printers, copiers, and scanners for basic menu navigation and control functions.
