Discover the technical specifications of our 12-22mm IP67 Metal Tactile Switches. Engineered for durability with SUS304 housings, multi-color LED options, and 100MΩ insulation. Ideal for industrial controls and OEM applications.
In the world of industrial design and OEM manufacturing, reliability is non-negotiable. Whether you are designing control panels for heavy machinery or high-end public access systems, the tactile feedback and durability of your switch directly impact the user experience.
Our new range of 12mm, 16mm, 19mm, and 22mm IP67 Waterproof Metal Tactile Switches combines rugged aesthetics with high-precision engineering. Below, we break down the technical parameters that make these switches the ideal choice for demanding B2B applications.
Key Mechanical Specifications
The physical build of a switch determines its longevity in the field. Our switches are constructed with premium materials to withstand harsh environments and repeated use.
Housing Material Options: Choose between SUS304 Stainless Steel, Brass Nickel-Plated, or Anodized Aluminum Alloy. This ensures excellent corrosion resistance and a premium look.
Button Construction: The key is made from PC (Polycarbonate) combined with SUS316 Stainless Steel, offering superior strength and a modern aesthetic.
Durability: With a mechanical life exceeding 1,000,000 cycles (tested at 5VDC 50mA) and an electrical life > 100,000 cycles (DC-13: 12V/24V 20mA), these switches are built for long-term reliability.
Operating Feel: The switch offers a crisp tactile response with an actuation force of approximately 2.5~4N and a total button travel of 0.5mm (contact stroke 0.3mm).
Contact Reliability: Featuring Stainless Steel Silver Plating contacts, the switch maintains a Contact Resistance of < 50mΩ, ensuring stable conductivity.
Electrical Performance & Customization
Understanding the electrical load and wiring configuration is crucial for integration.
Versatile Switching: Capable of handling Switching voltages from 1.5V up to 250V AC/DC, making them suitable for both low-voltage logic circuits and higher-voltage power applications.
Current Ratings: Designed for Resistive loads (DC-13: 12V/24V 50mA) with a rated heating current of 100mA/24V.
High Insulation: The modified nylon PA66 base ensures a Dielectric Strength of ≥ 100MΩ at 500VDC/h and a Compressive Strength of 1500VAC between pins and housing.
Switch Configuration: Standard configuration is 1NO (SPST-NO) , available in Self-locking or Momentary (Self-reset) forms.
Advanced LED Illumination Options
Our switches feature integrated illumination with flexible configurations to suit global standards.
LED Voltage Options: Available in standard voltages: AC/DC 3.3V, 6V, 9V, 12V, and 24V.
Current Control: LED operating current is finely tuned between 2mA and 20mA.
Multi-Color Capability: Choose from a wide spectrum of single colors (Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, White, etc.) or multi-color combinations. We support Two-Color Common Anode (COM+) and Three-Color Common Cathode wiring schematics.
LED Schematic Support: Internal diagrams are available for “One Color (Non-polarity),” “Two Colors COM+,” and “Three Colors COM-,” ensuring easy PCB integration.
Why IP67 Matters for Your Project
The standout feature of this series is the IP67 Waterproof Rating at the end of the button. This guarantees the switch is completely dust-tight and can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. This level of protection is critical for:
Outdoor kiosks and ticketing machines.
Food and beverage processing equipment.
Marine and automotive applications.
Heavy industrial control panels exposed to washdowns.
Conclusion
Selecting the right component is an investment in your product’s reputation. Our 12-22mm IP67 Metal Tactile Switches offer the perfect blend of robust mechanics, flexible electronics, and environmental sealing.
