Area reduction of approx. 60%, Nub-including type
Micro Tactile Switch
SOM Series
Announced on September 24, 2009
Overview
With ever-reducing product sizes, there is demand for a metal dome-type tactile switch with a smaller diameter than current products, and so we have developed the <SOM series>.
The <SOM series> offers a 60% reduction in area (in comparison to SOT/SOC series) while retaining a level of reliability equivalent to the previous series.
Moreover, the Nub-including specification minimizes the deterioration in operation feel which can occur with positioning errors at mounting or assembly.

§ Features
1.
Smaller size than previous models (SOT, SOC series).
4.5mm x 4.5mm x 0.55mm (0.4mm: SOC Series)
→ 3.0mm x 2.6mm x 0.55mm (including Nub)
2.
Nub attached to ensure that sweetspot of metal dome can be pressed reliably, even when mounting or assembly positioning errors occur.
3.
J-bend structure with electrode terminals extending from the bottom of the base gives a coplaniarity of 0.1 mm max.
4.
Supports RoHS/non-halogen/Pb free soldering.
