2 Pin Tact Switch Round

Description

A “2-Piece 2-Pin Tact Switch (Round)” refers to a set of two tactile switches, each having two electrical pins and a round-shaped actuator. These switches are commonly used in electronic devices and projects for various functions, such as momentary button presses. Here’s a description of their key features and characteristics:

1. Tactile Switch: Tact switches are momentary switches, which means they only make electrical contact while they are being pressed or activated. When you release the pressure, the switch returns to its default state.

2. 2-Pin Configuration: Each switch in the set has two electrical pins or terminals. These pins are used to connect the switch to an electronic circuit or device.

3. Actuator Shape: The switches feature a round actuator, which is the part you press or depress to activate the switch. The round shape is a common design for tactile switches.

4. Normally Open (NO): Tact switches are typically normally open (NO) switches, meaning they are in an open circuit state when not pressed. When you press the switch, it momentarily closes the circuit, allowing electrical current to flow.

5. Mounting: Tact switches are often designed for through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards (PCBs). They can be soldered onto the board for a secure connection.

6. Applications: Tact switches are commonly used in various electronic devices, including keyboards, remote controls, calculators, consumer electronics, and as input buttons for microcontroller-based projects.

7. Operating Force: Tact switches have a specific operating force, which is the amount of force required to press and activate the switch. This force can vary among different models.

8. Durability: The durability of tact switches varies, with some designed for high cycles of use, making them suitable for applications where the switch will be frequently activated.

9. Size: Tact switches come in various sizes, and the size of the round actuator can affect the tactile feel and ease of pressing the switch.

10. Configuration: Depending on the specific switch model, it may have different pin configurations, such as surface-mount, right-angle, or J-bend.

A “2-Piece 2-Pin Tact Switch (Round)” set provides you with two tactile switches with round actuators. These switches are commonly used as input buttons or switches in electronic devices and projects, allowing users to perform momentary actions like pressing a button on a remote control or keyboard.
