An 8*8 tactile switch refers to a tactile switch with a package size of 8mm×8mm. It is a momentary action switch that provides tactile feedback when pressed, widely used in various electronic devices.
Compact size (8mm×8mm), suitable for space-constrained scenarios such as small portable electronic devices, PCB boards, and wearable devices.
Clear tactile feedback, producing a distinct "click" sound or tactile sensation when pressed to confirm switch activation for users.
Mostly designed for momentary action, automatically resetting when pressure is released, ideal for scenarios requiring temporary contact like remote control buttons.
Rating: Mainly for low-voltage and low-current applications, commonly 12V DC and 50mA.
Contact Resistance: Maximum typically between 50mΩ-100mΩ, ensuring reliable conduction.
Insulation Resistance: Not less than 100MΩ at 100V DC to prevent leakage.
Dielectric Strength: Can withstand a voltage test of 250V AC for 1 minute, ensuring insulation between contacts.
Electrical Life: Regular service life of approximately 100,000 operating cycles.
An 8*8 tact switch refers to a tactile switch with a footprint of 8mm by 8mm. It is a small, momentary-action switch that provides tactile feedback when pressed, commonly used in various electronic devices. Here is a detailed introduction:
Shell material: The shell of 8×8 waterproof flick switch usually adopts high sealing plastic or metal materials, such as polycarbonate (PC), polypropylene (PP) or aluminum alloy. These materials not only have good waterproof performance, but also can withstand certain mechanical shock.
Sealing design: The key to a waterproof flick switch is its sealing. Usually, multi-layer seals or O-ring seals are used to ensure that liquids cannot penetrate into the interior of the switch. In addition, some high-end products will also use waterproof adhesive coating to further enhance the waterproof performance.
Contact design: Contacts are the core components of the light-contact switch, 8×8 waterproof light-contact switches usually use gold or silver contacts to ensure good conductivity and durability. In a waterproof flick switch, the contact part will be sealed in a waterproof environment to avoid contact with water or other liquids.
Excellent waterproof performance: Through multi-layer sealing design, 8×8 waterproof flick switches can effectively prevent the intrusion of water, dust and other external substances. Its waterproof rating usually reaches IP67 or higher, which is suitable for various harsh environments.
High reliability: Due to the use of high-quality contact materials and sealing design, 8×8 waterproof flick switches show high durability in long-term use, and are able to withstand frequent pressing and harsh environments.
Easy to operate: The design of the light touch switch allows the user to trigger the switch with a gentle press, which is easy to operate and less likely to cause fatigue.
Wide applicability: 8×8 waterproof flick switches are suitable for a variety of occasions that require waterproof and dustproof, such as outdoor lighting equipment, medical equipment, industrial control equipment, kitchen appliances, bathroom appliances, computer peripherals, home appliances and instruments, audio-visual equipment, communication equipment, and automotive field.
Stable electrical performance: 8×8 waterproof flick switches have stable electrical performance, such as low contact resistance, high insulation resistance, high voltage resistance, etc., to ensure stable conduction of the circuit.
Customizability: Some 8×8 waterproof flick switch manufacturers provide processing and customization services, which can adjust the size, material, waterproof grade and other parameters of the switch according to customer needs.

Automotive Electronics: Used in car infotainment systems, steering wheel control buttons, vehicle-mounted chargers, and car diagnostic tools, meeting the requirements of automotive-grade vibration resistance and temperature adaptability.
A: It typically works within -20°C to 70°C for standard models. High-temperature resistant versions (-40°C to 125°C) are available for automotive or industrial applications.
A: Standard models are non-waterproof. We offer IP67-rated waterproof variants for humid or outdoor equipment like bathroom appliances or outdoor sensors.
A: Yes, it supports both mounting methods. Through-hole models are suitable for manual assembly, while SMT versions fit automated production lines.
A: The actuation force ranges from 160g to 350g. Light force (160-200g) is for consumer electronics, and heavy force (250-350g) is for industrial control to avoid accidental presses.
A: Customizations for pin length (3mm-8mm), terminal material, and LED indicator colors (red, blue, green) are available for bulk orders.
A: Frequent over-voltage/current use, dust accumulation, and extreme temperature fluctuations will shorten the service life. Follow the rated parameters for optimal performance.
A: All our 8*8 tactile switches meet RoHS and REACH standards, suitable for global market access.
