Life Test Method: Test the number of times it opens and closes until it is damaged, if not manually, a small motor can be used to drive the eccentric opening and closing switch, using a counter to record the number of times.

Features

• Tact push button switches are designed to be small and compact, making them ideal for use in electronic devices with limited space.
• 4 Pin tact switches are typically designed for momentary action, meaning that they are only activated while they are being pressed.
• Tact switches have a low profile, which means that they sit close to the circuit board and do not take up much vertical space.
• Tact switches are designed to be durable and long-lasting, with a high cycle life and resistance to mechanical stress.
• 6x6x17mm Tact switches require only a light touch to activate, making them easy to operate.

Applications

Tact switches, also known as tactile switches, have a variety of applications in electronics. The tact switch is mainly used for audio-visual equipment, digital products, remote control, game consoles, home appliances, security products, toys, computer products, printers, machine tools. control devices, money detectors, laser pens, etc.

Tips: How to solder a tact switch onto a PCB?

Soldering a tact switch onto a PCB is a relatively simple process. Here are the general steps you can follow:

• Place the tact switch onto the PCB board, making sure that the switch pins align with the corresponding holes on the board.
• Apply a small amount of flux to the switch pins and the PCB board to help the solder flow smoothly.
• Heat up the soldering iron and apply it to the switch pin and the PCB pad at the same time.
• Once the solder melts, use the tweezers to hold the switch in place while the solder cools and solidifies. Be careful not to move the switch or the solder joint during this process.
• Repeat the process for all of the switch pins.
• Inspect the solder joints to ensure that they are shiny, smooth, and do not have any cracks or gaps. If necessary, reheat the solder and apply more flux to improve the joint.
• Once all of the solder joints are complete, allow the PCB to cool down before testing the switch.

That's it! With some practice, you'll be able to solder tact switches onto PCBs with ease.
