              Kingtronics International Company — Inspired by Innovation 

In security and communication equipment, reliability isn't a luxury — it's a necessity. System failures caused by inconsistent or short-lived components can lead to operational disruptions, costly downtime, and safety risks. At the heart of many of these systems lies a component that may be small in size, but critical in function: the tact switch.

One such switch that has proven its value in demanding environments is the Kingtronics WKTA1060060A. It’s designed specifically for applications that require consistent actuation, long operating life, and resilience under stress.

Built for Consistency and Longevity

The WKTA1060060A is engineered for durability, offering up to 100,000 actuations, making it suitable for high-use systems like surveillance panels and communication consoles. Its operating force range from 1.0N to 2.6N allows flexibility in design and user interaction, ensuring both responsiveness and comfort.

For environments that demand higher power tolerances, this switch is capable of withstanding up to 250V AC, a notable feature that increases its adaptability in systems that operate under varied voltage conditions.

Why It Matters in Security and Communication Systems

Tactile switches are used for control, input, and user interface in systems that often run 24/7. A switch failure could compromise not just the user experience but also system reliability. In security and communication applications, that margin for failure is minimal. The WKTA1060060A addresses this by balancing mechanical robustness with precise actuation.

From access control terminals and intercom systems to vehicle-mounted radios and alarm control panels, the WKTA1060060A finds relevance across the spectrum.

A Balanced Choice for Critical Applications

With its combination of mechanical endurance, customizable actuation force, and high-voltage tolerance, this tact switch meets the practical demands of modern system integrators and engineers.

For design teams prioritizing longevity and stability in their component selection — without unnecessary complexity — the WKTA1060060A represents a reliable, no-nonsense solution.

Tact Switches have a small footprint and come in many sizes and gram forces, can be used in many consumers electronic devices.

The Tactile (Tact) switch is composed of insert, base, shrapnel, button and cover plate. The waterproof Tactile (Tact) switch adds a layer of polyimide film on the shrapnel (as shown in the picture).

The Tactile (Tact) switch has the advantages of small contact resistance, accurate operating force error, diversified specifications and so on. It is widely used in electronic equipment and white household appliances, such as video and audio products, digital products, remote controls, communication products, household appliances, security products, playing equipment, computer products, fitness equipment, medical equipment, note checking pen, laser pen keys and so on.

Tactile switches have a small footprint and come in many sizes and gram forces, can be used in many consumers electronic devices.
Under the current difficult situation of raw material supply for the whole electronic components industry, our price & L/T support is still very competitive.

Below are some our hot sell products of Tactile switches, welcome your inquiry to check our best offer for you.

Famous brand of switch like Digi-Key, Avnet, RS Components, Galco, Sager Electronics,Kingtronics, they are with nice rebound effect. Tact switches are designed with a small footprint suited for mounting onto the surface of printed circuit boards (PCB).

How does a tactile switch work? They are on/off electronic switches that are turn on only when a certain amount of pressure is applied. The circuit is broken when tactile switch button is released and the pressure has been taken off.

Kingtronics Tactile switch, as called Soft Touch Tact Switch, button switch is better than common switch in the market. They are common application in Digital products (digital cameras, digital video cameras), Remote control (remote control for vehicles, rolling doors, and home anti-theft products), Communication products (mobile phones, car phones, telephones, building equipment), Security products (video intercoms, monitors), etc.

Before you buy Alps Alpine switch, Knitter-switch, Panasonic ‘Light Touch Switches or Octopart switch, hope you can give priority to Kingtronics please. We hold low price with the same well quality. Also, excellent performance with Low contact resistance, long cycles is our characteristic.

At present, there is a shortage of raw materials in the electronic parts market, the lead time has become longer, and the cost of raw materials has increased. In this tough situation, Kingtronics brings good news to customers! We now have more preferential prices for Tactile (Tact) Switches! *^-^*
