Tactile Switches

Tactile switches are one of the widely used types of switches that close an electrical circuit when pressed, offering users a real-time response, like a click or bump sound, to confirm current flow. Releasing the switch interrupts the circuit and halts current flow. In simple words, a tactile switch is a momentary device that provides a perceptible reaction when activated, ensuring the user feels the operation and the signal or transmission. From remote controls to industrial-grade equipment, tactile switches, also called push-button switches, allow precise human-machine interaction through a reliable electromechanical interface.

How Do Tactile Switches Operate?

Tactile switches are typically composed of a button or key that, when pressed, triggers an internal mechanism. The mechanism is usually a spring-loaded contact that closes an electrical circuit by activating a particular action within the device. The tactile feedback or the physical feel of the button press is provided by a dome-shaped part of conductive material that flexes under pressure. 

What are the Popular Tactile Switch Types?

Tactile switches come in two main types: open or standard and sealed. A standard tactile switch is not sealed against environmental factors such as gases, dust, or water, whereas the sealed type is equipped with a mechanical element to seal the internal parts from water and dust ingress in harsh industrial environments.

Other types of tactile switches that are available in the market include:

  • Switch Array and Keypad
  • Rectangular, Square and Round 
  • Flush and Illuminated
  • 5-way Tactile Switches
  • Miniature and Micro
  • Right Angle and Long Stroke, among other

Where Can I Use Tactile Switches?

Tactile switches are ideal for an extensive range of consumer and industrial products due to their compact size, low profile, and durability. Common applications include:

  • Keyboards and Keypads
  • Remote Controllers
  • Cellphones
  • Kids Toys
  • Musical Instruments
  • Notebook PCs
  • Household Appliances
  • Security Electronic Systems
  • Industrial Control Equipment
  • Medical and Portable Equipment

Overall

Tactile switches are ideal solutions for low-power, momentary power control or data input applications where tactile and auditory feedback are paramount. Halltronics provides a massive range of tactile switches from industry-leading brands with compact designs, varying actuator heights, and versatile configuration options.
