A tactile switch, specifically the SMT (Surface Mount Technology) version with Hook Leads, is a compact and reliable electronic component widely used in various devices for its ability to provide tactile feedback upon actuation. Measuring 4.8mm by 4.8mm in outline, this switch boasts a low-profile design that makes it ideal for applications where space is a constraint. The actuator height above the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) is an ultra-slim 0.55mm, contributing to its sleek and flush-mounted appearance.

This particular tactile switch is designed to serve as a direct replacement or alternative for CUI Same Sky’s TS17-48-05-YE-260-SMT-TR and TS17-48-05-YE-160-SMT-TR models, ensuring compatibility with existing designs and systems. Its SMT packaging allows for easy and automated assembly onto PCBs, reducing manufacturing time and costs.

The switch features robust construction and dependable performance, making it suitable for use in a wide range of applications such as consumer electronics, industrial controls, automotive interfaces, and more. Its low profile not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the final product but also ensures a smooth and seamless user experience. In summary, this SMT tactile switch with hook leads is a versatile and efficient component that combines compact size, tactile feedback, and compatibility with industry-standard alternatives.
