Master Distributors Offers lluminated Tact Switches

By Editor | November 21, 2012

Master Distributors announces that it now carries TL3240 Series and TL3210 Series illuminated tact switches from E-Switch. Both series are surface mount (SMT) switches that offer LED illumination in a variety of colors for applications such as the audio/visual market, computer peripherals, consumer electronics, instrumentation, telecommunications, and medical equipment.

The TL3210 series measures only 5.6mm x 3.5mm, making it the tiniest illuminated tact switch in E-Switch’s product line. It is available with LED illumination in blue, red, green, yellow, white, and a bi-color red/green option. This tact switch comes in tape and reel packaging at 2,500 pieces per reel. With an operating temperature of -20°C to 70°C, the TL3210 features a contact rating of 50mA at 12V DC, a maximum contact resistance of 500mΩ, and an insulation resistance of 100 MΩ min at 100V DC. Its mechanical parameters include tactile travel of 0.2mm ± 0.1mm, an operating force of 160gf ± 50gf, and a long life expectancy of 100,000 cycles.

The TL3240 series offers LED illumination in blue, red, green and yellow. It is also available with square or rectangular cap options in black, red, blue, ivory, green, or yellow. However, the caps cannot go through the reflow soldering process and are ordered and shipped separately. The TL3240 has an insulation resistance of 100 MΩ min at 500V DC, a contact rating of 50mA at 12V DC, and a maximum contact resistance of 100mΩ. With a long life expectancy of 200,000 cycles, it provides travel of 0.2mm ± 0.1mm at an operating temperature of -25°C to 70°C, with available operating forces of 100gf ± 50gf, 160gf ± 50gf, and 260gf ± 50gf.
