Tactile Switch
Miniature, Space-Saving Tactile Switch Provides
Long Service Life and Easy Mounting
I
Extended mechanical/electrical service life:
B3F
10 x 10
6
operations for 12 x 12 mm type and
1 x 10
6
operations for the 6 x 6 mm type
I
Ideal for applications such as audio, office
and communications equipment, measuring
instruments, TVs, VCRs, etc.

Note:
Terminal numbers are not indicated on this switch. With the switch turned over so that the logo mark “OMRON” is visible on the upper part of the rear
side of the switch base, the terminal on the right of the logo mark is numbered “1” and that on the bottom right is “3.” Accordingly, two terminals on
the left side are numbered “2” and “4” respectively.
Note: Unless otherwise specified, a tolerance of
±
0.4 mm applies to all dimensions.
