B3F Tactile Switch
A Wide Range of Models:
6 × 6 mm, 12 × 12 mm, Vertical, and High-force.
  • A positive click action plus a long life equal to that of a no-contact switch.
  • Radial models (taping specifications) that allow the use of general-purpose radial taping parts insertion machines have been added to the series.

Note: 1.  All units are in millimeters unless otherwise indicated. Unless otherwise specified, a tolerance of ±0.4 mm applies to all dimensions.
Note: 2.  Bottom ViewNo terminal numbers are indicated on the Switches. The numbers used for terminals in the following graphics are indicated in the "Bottom View" diagram below. In this diagram, the Switch is rotated so that the terminals are on the right and left-hand sides, and the OMRON logo appears the right way up.
