Illuminated Tact Switch And LED Push Button

As we all know, the illuminated tactile button and led push button switch are the dome design and offer tactile feedback and good performance,they are widely used as input devices across of multiple commercial and consumer devices.

It can be confused by user in the naming of illuminated tactile switch in that they are often referred to as illuminated push button switches, let us introduce the distinguish of illuminated tact switch and illuminated push-buttons.

A illuminated push button switch is designed to allow current flow in a circuit when the actuator button is pressed down and goes a specific distance and stop the flow of current when push again,this is momentary function for pushbutton switch, the push button switch is available with illuminated and without illumination options, as for the mounting ways, the push-button switch can be mounted either on panels or directly PCB boards, it depends on the structure of push buttons; our illuminated push button switch provides a variety of size and specification options, if you want to know more about it, please click

A illuminated tactile switch opens current flow when the top actuator is pushed and keep it position, then close the circuit while it is released, the illuminated tact switch has tiny travel of the actuator,it also called as “momentary action” illuminated tactile button switches, some of push button switch has momentary and latching function options, but tact switch is only for momentary configuration, illuminated momentary tact button is tiny than push button switches, the illuminated tact switch was designed usually carry low voltage and ratings, the led illuminated tact switch also gives audible and crisp response and they are often designed to be directly mounted onto PCBs.
