The tactile switch in question is a compact SMT (Surface Mount Technology) device with an outline measuring 4.8×4.8mm. Its design as a flush, low-profile switch sets it apart, featuring an actuator height above the PCB of just 0.8mm. This minimal profile makes it ideal for applications where space is at a premium, ensuring a sleek and seamless integration into electronic devices.

This tactile switch offers a reliable and consistent tactile feedback upon actuation, enhancing user experience by providing clear confirmation of button press. Its flush design also aids in maintaining a smooth and uninterrupted surface, which can be crucial in aesthetically pleasing and functionally efficient designs.

As a versatile alternative, this switch can serve as a direct replacement for C&K Switches’ PTS526SM08SMTR2 LFS and PTS526SK08SMTR2 LFS models. This compatibility ensures designers and engineers can easily incorporate this switch into existing designs without the need for significant modifications, thereby streamlining production processes and reducing lead times.

Whether used in consumer electronics, industrial controls, or any other application where a low-profile, reliable tactile switch is required, this switch offers an optimal blend of performance, aesthetics, and cost-effectiveness. Its compact size, SMT compatibility, and ability to replace specific C&K switch models make it a valuable addition to any electronic designer’s toolkit.
