Author: Jan Robenek
Panasonic Industry Europe has launched a new tiny tactile switch which provides a unique tactile feeling and a new operation force of 3N. The switch’s very small footprint is perfect for applications where space is scarce on the pcb.
Despite this small footprint, the EVPBB5AHE00 is highly reliable with a long operational life of up to 500k cycles. An IP 67 rating enables the switch to easily withstand harsh environments, suiting it to a broad variety of applications.
Equipped with an actuator (push plate), the new miniature EVPBB5AHE00 tactile switch pairs a short push travel distance with a high operation force of 3N, resulting in a unique, sharp and crisp tactile click feeling. External dimensions of just 2.6 mm × 1.6 mm and a low profile of 0.5 to 0.57 mm make this device one of the tiniest tactile switches currently available, especially with the high 3N operation force (more info).
