MU Series PCB Switch

The APEM MU Series PCB switches are a reliable solution for directional control in electronic devices. The MU series is a SMD mounted multidirectional switch offering a distinctive tactile feel, ensuring efficient scanning and selection functions. Designed compact and provides a seamless one-touch directional control, promoting  ease of operation.

There are two different housing sizes: 7.5mm x 7.5mm and 10.4 x 10.4mm that comes in three different heights: 5mm, 7mm and 9mm. The travel for the four directions is 0.25mm, while the centre travel is 0.15mm. The actuation force varies, raging from 270gf down to 160gf for the four directions and from 500gf down to 260gf for the centre cap. You can design your own keycap experience with the MU Series are these navigational tactile switches are created without standard caps. For those who prioritise precision there are versions available with positioning pins for more accurate mounting. Versatile in applications such as electronic devices requiring directional control on LCD displays, remote controllers, CCTV cameras, and other electronics where space is limited.

MAIN FEATURES

  • Multidirectional/navigational switches with 5 functions
  • Excellent tactile feedback
  • SMD Mounting
  • Square 7.5mm and 10.4mm housing
  • Height from PCB 5 – 9 mm
  • SPST momentary action
