Short-travel, LED illuminated TACT switches
Foremost Electronics now stocks the Marquardt 3006 series of low profile, short-travel, LED illuminated TACT switches. The 3006 TACT switch series offers users a tactile “feel” using haptic technology. The 3006 TACT switch family features a damped snap action disc, a mixture of switching mat and snap action disc, which allows very flat control elements with a fine tactile response and a clear user feedback signal with minimum travel.
The design of the LED illumination makes backlit symbols (pictograms) visible even at night. The 3006 series short-travel TACT switch has a low profile at just 3.95mm while still providing a 1.1mm actuator travel. It is the only SMD mountable switch of its size with integrated LED illumination, damping and dust protection to IP50. The contacts are single pole, normally closed and 5 colours of LED are available as standard with other colours and non-illuminated versions available at special request.
The definition of the LED colour provides an exclusive low ambient light design. Other features include; standard actuation force of 4N with other actuating forces available on request, user defined tactile pressure point and a large actuation surface. Switch life expectancy is greater than 500,000 cycles and operating temperature range is -40°C to +95 °C.
