Tactile, also known as tact, switches are generally small, compact and have a low profile, making them suitable for use in space-constrained devices.

Tactile switches are designed for momentary action, meaning that they only make electrical contact while the button is pressed. When you release the button, the electrical connection is broken. They come in surface mount (SMT) or through-hole versions with some right-angle options, allowing them to be integrated into various types of printed circuit boards (PCBs).

Wide range of applications are including consumer electronics, computer keynoards, calculators, remote controls, indistrial control panels, automotive controls, medical devices, sercurity systems, gaming consoles, Household appliances, industrial machinery and telecom devices.
