Tactile Switches
Tactile switches are actuated by pressing an actuator on a metallic dome that makes contact to the terminals over-molded in the plastic body. They are simple and efficient in their functionality, but very versatile in their application areas.Tactile switches are the smallest switches in APEM’s range, they have a short travel and handle low current.Since switches and accessories are designed separately from each other, there are endless possibilities to design the control panel for your application.

- MU seriesThe MU Series is a reliable solution for directional control in electronic devices. These SMD-mounted multidirectional switches offer a distinctive tactile feel, ensuring efficient scanning and selection functions. Designed with compactness in mind, the MU Series provides a seamless one-touch directional control, promoting operational ease.
There are two different housing sizes 7.5mm x 7.35mm and 10.4mm x 10.4mm that come in three different heights: 5mm, 7mm, and 9mm. The travel for the four directions is 0.25mm, while the center boasts a travel of 0.15mm. The actuation force varies, ranging from 270gf down to 160gf for the four directions, and from 500gf down to 260gf for the center cap.
You get to design your own unique keycap experience with the MU Series, as these navigational tactile switches are created without standard caps, allowing customers to personalize their devices. For those who prioritize precision, there are versions available with positioning pins for more accurate mounting.
Versatile in application, these PCB switches find their place in electronic devices requiring directional control on LCD displays, remote controllers, CCTV cameras, and other electronics where space is limited.
