6.2x6.2 Silicone Tap Switch

6.2*6.2 tact switches’ display

Standard size: The length and width dimensions are 6 x 6 mm, a size that allows the switch to be compactly mounted in a variety of devices, saving space.

Silicone keys: The top of the switch is made of silicone, which has excellent elasticity and abrasion resistance, providing a comfortable touch and ensuring reliability under long-term use.

6.2*6.2 touch switches' Internal Structure

Base: The base of the switch is usually made of plastic material to provide stable support for the switch and protect its internal structure.

Contacts and Shrapnel: The internal contacts and shrapnel are the core components of the switch, responsible for realizing the circuit when the key is pressed. Shrapnel is usually made of metal materials such as stainless steel or copper to ensure good conductivity and durability.

Silicone Component: Compared with ordinary tactile switches, 6×6 silicone tactile switches have an additional silicone component. This component acts as a cushion and guide when the key is pressed, and ensures that the key does not make noise when it bounces back. The design of the silicone component allows the switch to remain silent during pressing and rebounding.

6.2x6.2 tactswitches‘ Working Principle

Pressing and rebounding: When the silicone key is pressed, the silicone component sinks and presses the shrapnel down, making contact and realizing the on-off of the circuit. After releasing the button, the silicone component automatically springs back, and the shrapnel is reset, and the circuit is disconnected.

Silent characteristics: Due to the silicone component and special design of the shrapnel structure, the switch will not generate noise during pressing and rebounding, which is suitable for product areas with strict requirements on noise control.

silicon tact switches' Applications and Advantages

Applications: 6×6 silicone flick switches are widely used in car DVD, audio, digital cameras, automotive electronics, GPS navigators and other products, especially in the field of automotive products, where their quiet characteristics and good feel are widely used.

Advantage: The switch has the advantages of high sensitivity, thick pressing without void feeling, and long life (usually up to 100,000 times or more). At the same time, the wear resistance and elasticity of the silicone keypad make the switch able to maintain a good state of use for a long time.
