Illuminated Momentary Switch With Cap

The illuminated tact switch with 10mm clear cap is a versatile and useful component that finds its application in various electronic products. Its small size, tactile feedback, durability, and clear cap that emits light, make it an ideal choice for various electronic applications. The switch is easy to use, robust, and cost-effective, which makes it an essential component for any electronic product.

An illuminated tact switch with a 10 - mm clear cap is a compact - sized electronic component that combines the functionality of a tactile switch with an integrated lighting feature, covered by a clear cap with a diameter of 10 mm. Here is a detailed introduction:

Structural Features

• Switch Body: Usually has a small - scale structure, such as the common 6 mm × 6 mm × 9 mm or 6 mm × 6 mm × 10 mm size2. It is made of high - quality plastic or other insulating materials, which have good mechanical strength and insulation performance. The internal structure includes contacts, springs, and other components. When an external force is applied to the switch, the contacts close or open to complete or cut off the circuit, and the spring provides the elastic force for the switch to return to its original position.

• Illumination System: Consists of one or more light - emitting diodes (LEDs) installed inside the switch body. The LEDs emit light upwards through the 10 - mm clear cap when the switch is activated or in a specific state. The clear cap is made of transparent plastic or glass - like material, which has good light transmittance, allowing the light of the LED to be clearly visible from the outside. Some switches may also have a diffuser under the clear cap to make the light more uniform and soft4.

Electrical Characteristics

• Rated Voltage and Current: The rated voltage and current of the switch are generally within a certain range, such as a rated voltage of DC 3V - 12V and a rated current of 50mA - 100mA. Different models and manufacturers may have different parameter values, and users need to select the appropriate switch according to the specific application requirements.

• Low Contact Resistance: The contact resistance of the switch is small, usually within 100mΩ or less, which can ensure good conductivity when the switch is closed, reduce power consumption and heat generation, and improve the efficiency and reliability of the circuit.
