PC Illuminated Power Switch

Looking for a tact switch that delivers both precise haptic feedback and vibrant illumination? The TS9-2A00U combines a sharp 250gf tactile bump with a built-in blue LED, giving your interface the satisfying click and visual confirmation users expect.

Unlike mini tact switches, the LED is factory-centered to eliminate hot spots, providing a clean, even glow through keycaps or panel overlays. And with a rated lifetime of long cycles, it’s built to outlast the product it’s installed in.

Key Features & Benefits

1. Crisp, Consistent Tactile Feedback

Actuation force is tightly controlled at 250gf ± 50gf. Every press produces a distinct “click” you can feel and hear – no mushy actuation, even after hundreds of thousands of cycles.

2. Factory-Centered Blue LED

The integrated LED is precisely aligned during manufacturing. This means uniform backlight brightness across the entire switch surface, with no annoying dark spots or light bleed behind your legends.

3. Built for Long Life

Silver-plated phosphor bronze contacts are rated for 500,000 make-and-break operations. We test random samples from every production batch for contact resistance drift and LED intensity decay.

Typical Applications

· Mechanical Keyboards & Macropads – The 250gf force provides a confident press for function keys or shortcuts. The blue LED adds a premium under-key glow.

· Consumer Electronics – Coffee machines, blenders, humidifiers. The sealed structure resists moisture ingress, keeping the contact reliable through daily use.

· Test & Measurement Equipment – Consistent actuation point makes this switch suitable for momentary selection or menu navigation keys on handheld meters.

· DIY / Maker Projects – Standard 6×6mm footprint and through-hole or SMD option available. Pair it with an Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or custom PCB for quick prototyping.

Customization & OEM Services

We understand that a blue 6x6mm illuminated switch won't fit every project. That’s why we offer:

· LED Color Options: Red, green, white, yellow, orange, or bi-color.

· Actuation Force Customization: 160gf, 260gf variants available.

· Plunger Marking: Laser engrave your logo, symbol, or text on the button top. Minimum order 20000 pieces.

· Packaging: Bulk, tape-and-reel, or custom retail boxes.

· Sample Service: Request free samples (up to 10 pieces) for fit and feel testing before bulk ordering.

Contact our sales team with your requirements – we typically confirm customization feasibility within 24 hours.

FAQ 

Q: Can this switch be used for an on/off power button?

A: This is a momentary switch – it returns to its original position when released. For a latching on/off function, please see our self-locking illuminated switch series.

Q: How bright is the LED? Is it visible in daylight?

A: The blue LED is clearly visible in normal office lighting. For outdoor direct-sunlight applications, we recommend a different LED configuration – contact us.

Applications:

• Computing Equipment: Ideal for desktop computers, monitors, power supplies, and other electronics requiring reliable power control and visual feedback.

• Consumer Electronics: Perfect for audio equipment, gaming consoles, and smart home devices where a stylish, illuminated power switch enhances usability.

• Industrial Systems: Suitable for control panels, network devices, and industrial machinery that require a robust, visible power switch for operational control.
