Light Touch Switches

Panasonic's Light Touch Switches, which are often referred to as tact or tactile switches in the industry, are momentary push-on switches to be used with a small current (rated 20mA and 15Vdc). They provide a unique sharp and clear click operational feel. Panasonic light-touch switches have low contact resistance, small bouncing noise, high contact reliability and wide selection of operating forces. As one of the top suppliers in the world, Panasonic offers options such as super-thin, super-small, side-mounted, double-action, long travel (stroke), over travel, surface-mount and J-bent terminal.
