228E Tactile Switches Series
ctsTactile Switch SPST-NO Side Actuated Through Hole, Right Angle
The 228E series tactile switches from CTS Corporation are designed as single-pole single-throw normally open (SPST-NO) switches that are side actuated and through-hole mounted. These switches come in various finish options, indicated by the different suffixes in the part numbers (e.g., AF, WF, BF, RF, RBF, RAF, RGF). If you're working on projects requiring reliable tactile feedback in a compact form factor, these switches are a solid choice.
One thing worth noting is their right-angle orientation, which makes them ideal for tight spaces or when you need to route components in a specific direction without sacrificing functionality. Engineers tend to reach for these when they need a switch that provides a distinct tactile feel and a clean, professional appearance. They are commonly used in control panels, medical devices, industrial equipment, and consumer electronics where space is limited but reliability is paramount.
Another practical benefit is their durability; these switches are designed to handle a high number of operations without degrading performance. This makes them suitable for applications where the switch might be actuated frequently, such as in user interfaces or automated machinery. The variety of finish options ensures that you can match the switch aesthetics to your board design, whether you need a gold finish for corrosion resistance or a matte black for a sleek look.
