ED, the disc contact is a momentary
tact switch with short travel and good
tactile feedback. Direct mounting on a
printed circuit board is possible.

In that case, the dome must be
actuated by a soft actuator of 3.0 mm
(0.118) minimum diameter. The
ED dome is available in various types
of modules and is the main component
of several switches presented in this
catalog.

Self-cleaning system:
The contact is made on at least 3 points
of the lower diaphragm, these 3 points
of contacts are always different at each
new switch action. During the switching
movement, the upper disc slides on the
lower diaphragm, ensuring the contact’s
self-cleaning.
