Packaging and Logistics
- SMD: tape-and-reel for automated pick-and-place (common reel counts: 2,000–4,000 pcs/reel)
- Through-hole: bulk bag or tube packaging
- Moisture sensitivity: MSL typically not applicable or low; ship in protective packaging
- Labeling: part number, lot/date code, quantity
Recommended Use and Assembly Notes
- SMD reflow: follow manufacturer’s reflow profile; avoid excessive peak temperatures to protect tactile performance
- Hand soldering (TH): keep dwell time short and tip temperature controlled to prevent housing damage
- Keep off mechanical load during reflow; do not press actuator until cooled
- For outdoor or high-humidity use, select sealed variants and implement appropriate gaskets on enclosures
- Debounce in firmware if required for ultra-sensitive configurations
Customization
- Tailored actuation force and travel
- Custom heights and actuator caps
- Gold-plated contacts for low-level signal applications
- Sealed construction for enhanced dust/moisture resistance
- Branding and color options for visible actuator caps
Ordering Information
- Specify mounting type (SMD or TH), height, actuation force, and finish
