Piezo Touch Push Button Switch Model description

Introduction

Tactile piezo switches are gaining popularity due to their precision, durability, and versatility in various applications. FILN offers piezoelectric switches that provide reliable feedback and long-lasting performance. Our 16mm tactile piezo switches are designed for users who need a switch that can withstand harsh environments while offering superior tactile feedback.

What Are Tactile Piezo Switches?

Understanding Piezoelectric Technology

Piezoelectric technology is based on the principle that certain materials generate an electric charge when subjected to mechanical stress. In the case of tactile piezo switches, this technology allows the switch to register input without physical moving parts, providing smooth operation and long-term durability.

Overview of Tactile Piezo Switches

A tactile piezo switch operates by sensing the pressure applied to its surface, which generates an electrical signal. FILN’s piezoelectric switches are available in various sizes and configurations, including the highly reliable 16mm model that features a flat head design. These switches are perfect for applications that require precise control, long life, and resistance to harsh environments.

Key Features of FILN’s 16mm Tactile Piezo Switches

Size and Design

FILN’s 16mm tactile piezo switches are compact yet robust, making them ideal for both small devices and large machinery. The flat head design provides a sleek, modern look, while ensuring the switch can easily be integrated into various systems.

Functionality: Momentary and Latching

FILN’s piezo touch switches are versatile, offering both momentary and latching functionalities. The momentary function activates only when pressure is applied and immediately deactivates when released, while the latching function keeps the switch in its activated state until pressed again. This makes them ideal for a wide range of applications, from simple on/off control to more complex functionality.

Customizable Touch or Piezo Functionality

FILN offers the flexibility to choose between touch and piezoelectric functionality. Depending on your specific needs, you can select the desired feature to match your application. Additionally, we offer tailored designs to meet unique requirements.

Why Choose Tactile Piezo Switches?

Precision and Feedback

One of the key advantages of tactile piezo switches is their precise and responsive feedback. When pressed, the user experiences tactile feedback that ensures the switch has been activated. This makes them ideal for environments where accuracy and confirmation are critical.

Durability and Reliability

Piezoelectric switches are known for their durability. With no moving parts, tactile piezo switches are resistant to wear and tear, making them ideal for high-frequency applications and harsh environments. They offer exceptional longevity and performance, even in challenging conditions.

Waterproof Capabilities

FILN’s waterproof piezo switches are designed to withstand exposure to moisture, dust, and other environmental factors. This makes them perfect for outdoor applications, industrial machinery, and systems in wet or dusty environments.
