The Side Mount Tactile Switch 5.5mm (SW-27) is a robust right-angle tactile switch designed with a metal support bracket, providing extra strength and stability when mounted on PCBs.
With its 5.5mm compact footprint, this switch is perfect for devices requiring side-access buttons, such as edge-mounted PCBs, control panels, and enclosed electronics.
The metal bracket reinforcement ensures the switch remains firmly in place, even under repeated pressing, making it ideal for high-usage applications where standard switches may loosen over time.
This is a momentary tactile switch, meaning it only activates when pressed and automatically returns, making it suitable for reset buttons, control inputs, and interface navigation.
The side push design allows seamless integration into product casings, aligning perfectly with external buttons or side openings.
