INTRODUCTION
TE Connectivity’s Alcoswitch Sealed Tactile Switches are a
comprehensive line of high-quality electromechanical components
designed to deliver reliable tactile feedback and environmental
protection in a wide range of applications. Engineered for durability
and precision, these switches feature an IP67-sealed construction,
protecting against dust, water, and other contaminants—ideal for
demanding operating conditions.
The product family includes a broad selection of ultra-miniature,
low-profile, and compact designs, available in both surface mount
and through-hole configurations. To meet varying design and
performance requirements, the Alcoswitch range offers multiple
options for:
• Actuation force (light to heavy press feel)
• Actuator height and orientation (vertical or right-angle)
• Actuator travel distance (short or extended travel)
• Lifecycle durability (standard to high-cycle applications)
• Case materials and colors (for mechanical strength and design
differentiation)
• Actuator materials and colors (to match tactile needs and
visual styling)
This high degree of customization enables integration into both
consumer-facing and industrial-grade interfaces while maintaining
a compact footprint and reliable electrical performance.
