Tact Switch With LED

Right angle tact switches with integrated LEDs are pivotal components in electronic designs, providing both tactile feedback and visual indication of the switch's status. Their unique right angle configuration allows for efficient use of space on printed circuit boards (PCBs), making them suitable for a wide array of applications, from consumer electronics to industrial machinery. This guide explores the features, applications, advantages, and considerations for selecting right angle tact switches with LEDs.

Right angle tact switches are designed to be mounted at a 90-degree angle to the PCB, as opposed to traditional switches that mount parallel to the board. This orientation offers several advantages, including space-saving benefits and ease of access in compact designs. The integrated LED serves as a visual indicator, illuminating to show the switch's operational state. For instance, the LED may light up when the switch is activated, providing immediate feedback to the user.

The TS20 series of right angle illuminated tact switches from FVWIN are single pole switches with single throw operation and short-stroke momentary actions. Electrically rated to 50mA at 12VDC with a mechanical life of 200,000 cycles and an operating force of 250gf. It is a PCB tact switch that can be directly mount on the PCB board.

1. User-Friendly Interface: The combination of tactile feedback and LED status indication enhances usability, enabling users to quickly understand device functionality, even in low-light conditions.

2. Space Efficiency: The right angle design optimizes PCB real estate, allowing for more compact device designs without sacrificing functionality.

3. Reliable Performance: Designed for longevity and frequent use, right angle tact switches reduce the need for replacements and maintenance, making them a cost-effective solution.

4. Ease of Integration: Their design allows for straightforward soldering and assembly, streamlining the manufacturing process and reducing production costs.

5. Versatility: With a variety of configurations and LED options, these switches can be customized to fit specific application needs, making them adaptable across numerous sectors.
