Description
The TK-024 2*4 Tact Switch is a professional-grade tactile component designed for high-density electronic assemblies. By applying force to the actuator (knob), the internal metal shrapnel is driven into contact with the terminal pins, effectively closing the circuit. This switch utilizes a high-quality internal metal spring mechanism to ensure responsive and reliable on-off switching performance.
Designed for versatile manufacturing, the TK-024 features a right-angle surface mount (SMT) configuration, making it ideal for boards where space is restricted or where side-access switching is required. With silver-plated contacts and multiple operating force options, this switch is built to provide consistent electrical conductivity and precise tactile feedback across a wide variety of applications.
