Silicone Ball Tactile Switches

I.The 6.2*6.2 silicone ball tact switches' Structure

The structure of 6.2*6.2 silicone ball flick switch usually includes the following key parts:

Silicone keys: the key part of this switch is made of silicone, which has a soft, durable and comfortable touch. The design of the silicone keypad not only enhances the user experience, but also has certain waterproof and dustproof functions.

Metal Shrapnel or Spring: The switch usually contains metal shrapnel or coil spring inside, which is used to realize the closing and breaking of the contacts. When the silicone button is pressed, the metal shrapnel or spring is compressed, which closes the contacts and opens the circuit.

Metal contacts: Contacts are usually made of electrically conductive metals such as copper, silver or steel. They are the key components of the switch, responsible for making contact with another contact or metal on the circuit board when the key is pressed, forming the circuit path.

Housing and fixings: The housing and fixings of the switch are used to protect the internal components and to ensure that the switch can be stably mounted on electronic equipment.

II.6.2*6.2 silicone tactile switches' Working Principle

The working principle of 6.2*6.2 silicone ball light touch switch is relatively simple, as follows:

Press the key: when the user touches the silicone key lightly with a finger or other object, the key is pressed down.

Compression of spring or shrapnel: The pressing of the key causes the internal metal shrapnel or spring to be compressed.

Contact closure: As the metal shrapnel or spring compresses, the contact makes contact with another contact or metal on the circuit board, creating a circuit path that leads to the circuit.

Release button: When the user releases the silicone button, the metal shrapnel or spring returns to its original state, the contact is disconnected and the circuit is broken.
