The tactile switch in question is a high-quality, SMD (Surface Mount Device) component that combines reliability and advanced features in a compact package. Measuring 12x12mm in outline, this switch is designed for applications where space is a premium while performance is critical. One of its standout features is its IP67 rating, which signifies that it is waterproof and dustproof, making it suitable for use in harsh environments where exposure to moisture and contaminants is a concern.

The switch features a plunger actuator type, which provides a tactile feedback when pressed, allowing users to confirm switch activation. With an actuator height of 7.3mm above the PCB (Printed Circuit Board), it offers a comfortable engagement point that is easy to activate.

This tactile switch serves as an excellent alternative to TE Connectivity switches, specifically models 1571217-3, 1571217-1, and 1571217-4. It provides similar performance characteristics and footprint compatibility, making it a seamless replacement in existing designs. Its robust construction and waterproof rating make it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications, including industrial controls, automotive electronics, and outdoor equipment. Overall, this SMD tactile switch offers a reliable and versatile solution for engineers looking to integrate high-performance switching in their designs.
