Overview

The TS40-66-50-BK-260-SMT-TR is a standard 6mm x 6mm tactile switch designed for surface mount applications. This SPST normally open (NO) switch features a 5.0mm actuator height and provides a crisp tactile response with an operating force of 260gf. It is rated for a maximum of 12VDC and 50mA, making it ideal for signal-level switching in various electronic interfaces.

Why Choose This Part

This switch offers a high actuation force of 260gf, which helps prevent accidental triggers compared to lighter 160gf variants. The 6mm square footprint is an industry standard, ensuring easy footprint compatibility and sourcing. Its gull-wing SMT leads provide reliable solder joints and easy visual inspection during the manufacturing process.

Applications

User Interface Input
Standard push-button input for navigating menus or selecting options on PCB-based control panels.
Reset Switches
Compact footprint and surface mount design make it suitable for logic reset buttons on embedded development boards.
Industrial Control Panels
Used in non-critical control paths where a durable, tactile feedback switch is required for operator input.
Consumer Electronics
Integrated into home appliances and handheld devices as a primary power or mode selection button.
