3*6 DIP Tact Switch

3*6 DIP Tact Switches' Discription

Size and Package: The size of a 3×6 DIP flick switch usually refers to its length and width, while the DIP package indicates that the switch is in a dual in-line package for easy soldering to the circuit board. Specific dimensions may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer and model to model, but the 3×6 specification refers to the general size range of the switch.

Operation: Tactile Switches are operated by gently pressing a button to trigger the switch action. This is a quick and easy way to operate the switch and is suitable for scenes that require frequent operation.

3x6 Tact Switches' Structure

The main structure of 3×6 DIP Tactile Switch includes cover plate, button, shrapnel, base and pin. Among them, the button is the place where the user applies external force, and the shrapnel is the core component of the switch, which is responsible for realizing the on-off of the circuit. The pins, on the other hand, are the connecting parts between the switch and the circuit board for transmitting electrical signals.

3*6 Touch Switches' Product Performance

Electrical Performance

Rated Voltage and Current: The rated voltage and current of 3×6 DIP Tactile Switches vary from model to model. Generally speaking, its rated voltage is usually around 12V DC, and the contact current is small, which is suitable for low-current control scenarios.

Contact Resistance and Insulation Resistance: Contact resistance is the resistance value between two contact points when the switch is closed. Insulation resistance is the resistance value between the two contact points and between each contact point and the housing when the switch is in the open state. These parameters have an important influence on the electrical performance of the switch.

Service life and stability

The service life and stability of 3×6 DIP light-contact switch is one of its important performance indicators. Generally speaking, the mechanical life of this type of switch can reach more than tens of thousands of times, ensuring the stability and reliability of long-term use. At the same time, the contact material has good abrasion resistance and corrosion resistance, which further extends the service life of the switch.

3*6 Tact Switches' Application 

3×6 DIP Tactile switches are widely used in various electronic devices, such as remote controls, digital products, audio-visual equipment and so on. Their compact size, easy operation and stable electrical performance make them one of the indispensable components in these devices.

DIP Tactile Switches' Precautions

When using 3×6 DIP flick switches, care should be taken not to apply excessive external force, which may damage the switch structure or affect the electrical performance.

The switch should be installed in a dry, dust-free environment to avoid switch failures caused by environmental factors.

During the soldering process, care should be taken to control the soldering temperature and soldering time to avoid thermal damage to the switch.
