The Great Search - Extra-Tall 6mm Tactile Switches

from Adafruit Industries · host Adafruit Industries

For our next design of the Fruit Jam board, we want to design a top plate that will let the header strip and switch poke out. This means we also have to choose buttons that will be able to poke out, so that they can be pressed when the plate is in place. Measuring the header height, it's 8.5mm tall, so we want 6mm x 6mm SMT tactile switches with more than 8.5mm actuator height from PCB (but no more than 11mm). Let’s see what is available at Digi-Key!
