Tactile Switches

 Tactile Switches

What is a tactile switch?

Tactile switches are electromechanical switches that provide a noticeable physical feedback when pressed, making user input more precise and reliable.

Common types include surface-mount and through-hole tactile switches, as well as sealed and illuminated versions for different application requirements.

Applications & Industry Uses

Tactile switches are widely used in consumer electronics, industrial controls, medical devices, test equipment, remote controls, appliances and human-machine interface panels where simple user input is required.

They are commonly found in keyboards, control panels, handheld devices, instrumentation systems and embedded control circuits.

How to select tactile switches

When selecting a tactile switch, consider actuation force, operating life, mounting style, size and environmental protection. Mouser offers a broad range of tactile switches for design, prototyping and production applications.
