The difference between DIP and SMD LED tact switch

Through hole illuminated tact switch means it can be directly insert onto the PCB board and soldering, but the surface mount illuminated tact switch places the button on the PCB board surface, it can be soldered and operated by SMT machine.

Through hole led tactile button has high reliability withstand temperature, but it occupies mnay space on the PCB, the assemble process is much than SMD type led tactile button; compared to the surface mount illuminated buttons, it has a membrane film pasted the top of the actuator, it can be protect from the dust and resist the high temperature of soldering procedure, at the same time, the illuminated SMD Tactile Switch can be mounted by machine.
