The THU12U from PTR Hartmann is an extremely compact, IP67 waterproof tactile switch for SMT mounting. It is designed to meet the demands of modern portable electronics. With a footprint of just 3.0 × 2.0 mm, an actuation height of 0.6 mm, and a proven lifespan of 300,000 switching cycles, the THU12U delivers reliability where space is of the essence.

The housing is made of Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP), a high-quality self-reinforcing thermoplastic, the dome and cover of stainless steel, while the contacts are finished in silver-plated bronze.

Other characteristics:  

  • Stroke: 0.15 mm 
  • Actuation force: 200 gf 
  • Contact resistance: < 500 mΩ
  • Voltage/Current: 12 VDC / 50 mA 
  • Operating temperature: −30 to +85 °C 

This makes the THU12U highly suitable for wearables, medical equipment, and portable measuring instruments.
