Right Angle Tact Illuminated Switch

The TS17-8B55BG1 is a right-angle tact illuminated switch. These types of switches are commonly used in various electronic devices for user input and typically feature a small LED that lights up when the switch is activated.

The 7x7mm right angle tact illuminated switch is a compact and versatile component widely used in various electronic devices. This switch type is characterized by its right angle design, tactile feedback, and integrated illumination, making it an essential part of modern user interfaces. In this detailed overview, we will explore the features, applications, advantages, and considerations for selecting a 7x7mm right angle tact illuminated switch.

The 7x7mm right angle tact illuminated switch is designed for mounting at a 90-degree angle to the printed circuit board (PCB). This orientation allows for efficient use of space, particularly in applications with limited vertical height. The compact size of 7x7mm ensures that these switches can fit into tight spaces without sacrificing functionality.

One of the key features of this switch is the integrated LED illumination. When activated, the LED lights up, providing users with immediate visual feedback about the operational status of the device. This is particularly beneficial in low-light conditions or complex control panels where quick recognition of the switch’s state is crucial.

Right Angle: The switch is mounted at a right angle, making it suitable for side or edge mounting on a PCB (printed circuit board).

Tactile Feedback: Tact switches provide a noticeable "click" or tactile feedback when pressed.

Illuminated: The switch includes an LED or other light source to indicate activation or for visibility in low-light conditions.

Compact Size: These switches are generally small, making them suitable for compact electronic designs.

Applications: Commonly used in consumer electronics, industrial equipment, automotive controls, and other applications where user interaction with the device is required.
