Overview

The TS40-66-70-BK-160-SMT-TR is a top-actuated, non-illuminated tactile switch in a 6.00mm x 6.00mm surface-mount package. It features a standard black actuator with a height of 7.00mm and a SPST-NO circuit configuration. This momentary switch is designed for low-power signal switching with a contact rating of 50mA at 12VDC.

Why Choose This Part

The 160 gf operating force provides a balanced tactile response suitable for frequent user interaction. Its surface-mount gull-wing termination and 7.00mm height make it compatible with automated pick-and-place assembly while remaining accessible through device enclosures.

Applications

User Interface Input
Standard input button for menu navigation or parameter adjustment in consumer and industrial electronics.
System Reset Switch
A reliable momentary switch for hardware reset or factory default triggers on embedded PCBs.
Power On/Off Trigger
Used as a soft-power switch to wake up microcontrollers or power management ICs from sleep modes.

Getting Started

When integrating this switch, ensure the PCB land pattern matches the 6.00mm square outline and gull-wing leads to prevent soldering defects. Use a standard debouncing circuit or software routine (typically 5ms to 10ms) to filter mechanical bounce from the SPST contact closure.
