INTRODUCTION

TE Connectivity’s Alcoswitch Sealed Tactile Switches are a

comprehensive line of high-quality electromechanical components

designed to deliver reliable tactile feedback and environmental

protection in a wide range of applications. Engineered for durability

and precision, these switches feature an IP67-sealed construction,

protecting against dust, water, and other contaminants—ideal for

demanding operating conditions.

The product family includes a broad selection of ultra-miniature,

low-profile, and compact designs, available in both surface mount

and through-hole configurations. To meet varying design and

performance requirements, the Alcoswitch range offers multiple

options for:

• Actuation force (light to heavy press feel)

• Actuator height and orientation (vertical or right-angle)

• Actuator travel distance (short or extended travel)

• Lifecycle durability (standard to high-cycle applications)

• Case materials and colors (for mechanical strength and design

differentiation)

• Actuator materials and colors (to match tactile needs and

visual styling)

This high degree of customization enables integration into both

consumer-facing and industrial-grade interfaces while maintaining

a compact footprint and reliable electrical performance.
