Question:
Which are the corrosion-resistant tactile switches?
Answer:
Our tactile switches with gold plating are resistant to sulfide and oxidation. We have products with gold-plated contacts in the following models.
- B3F (Standard: Through hole)
- B3SN (Sealed: Surface mounting)
** Items with -G (gold) at the end of the model are applicable.**
Explanation:
The gold-plated types have a gold-plated contact dome and contacts/terminals and are resistant to oxidation and sulfurization.
Also, sealed types are relatively resistant to oxidation and sulfurization, compared to the standard types.
Quick tips
