Standards & Certifications
Flammability Standards: UL94V-0 rated case & base
The JB Series tactiles have not been tested for UL recognition or CSA certification.
These switches are designed for use in a low-voltage, low-current, logic-level circuit.
When used as intended in a logic-level circuit, the results do not produce hazardous energy.

Distinctive Characteristics
Special bracket for right angle mounting provides added design
variations.
Higher operating force type provides more pronounced
operating feel.
Rubber seal construction prevents contact contamination
and allows automated soldering and cleaning.
Choice of dimensions from PCB to top of cap allows
design flexibility.
Dome contact gives crisp tactile feedback to positively indicate
circuit transfer and assures high reliability and long life of up
to 5,000,000 operations.
Slanted terminals provide a spring type action which ensures secure
mounting and prevents dislodging during wave soldering.
Actual Size
Molded-in terminals are part of the sealed construction which allows
automated soldering and washing.
Terminal spacing conforms to standard .100 (2.54mm) PCB grid.
