Indicators
The JL Series tactiles have not been tested for UL recognition or CSA certification.
These switches are designed for use in a low-voltage, low-current circuit.
When used as intended, the results do not produce hazardous energy.

Illuminated Ultra-Thin Tactiles
Series JL
Toggles
Bright, full face illumination with choice of red, green, or amber LEDs.
Multiple LED arrays and interior reflectors enhance illumination
of the large, .75” (19mm) square actuator surface.
Distinctive design allows full face illumination
in extra low profile of 0.31” (7.85mm) from
PCB to top of switch.
Dome contact gives crisp tactile and audible
feedback with short stroke and assures high
reliability and long life of 1,000,000 operations.
Crimped terminals provide a spring type action to ensure
secure mounting and prevent dislodging during the soldering process.
Streamlined housing dimensions provide for compact, side-by-side
mounting on a standard grid.
Terminal spacing conforms to standard .100” (2.54mm) PCB grid.
Common Bus Matrix
These single pole, single throw switches can be used in a key-
board matrix and, using strapped terminals, achieve a com-
mon bus electrical configuration on a single-sided PC board.

X-Y Matrix
These single pole, single throw switches can be
arranged on a single-sided PC board matrix
with strapped terminals to achieve an X-Y type
electrical interconnection.

Rockers
LEDs are an integral part of the switch. The electrical specifications shown are determined at a basic temperature of 25°C.
If the source voltage exceeds the rated voltage, a ballast resistor is required.
The resistor value can be calculated by using the formula in the Supplement.
