Product Description The Pro3D 12x12mm Square Tactile Switch is a robust and highly versatile input component, specifically designed for user-facing control panels. While the base is a standard 12mm square, the unique 7.3mm height includes a specialized square plunger designed to securely hold the included Round Color Caps. These caps not only provide a professional finish but also increase the surface area of the button, making it significantly more comfortable for frequent use. This kit is a favorite for the team at Robogears Pvt Ltd when building custom handheld controllers or educational robotics kits where color-coded inputs (like Red for Stop, Green for Go) are required.

Key Highlights

  • Interchangeable Color Caps: The set includes a variety of colored caps that snap firmly onto the square stem, allowing you to easily categorize functions on your control board.

  • Professional Panel Look: Using these switches with the included caps allows the buttons to sit flush or slightly protrude through an enclosure, giving your Robogears prototypes a retail-ready appearance.

  • Standard 12mm Footprint: Despite the larger size compared to 6mm micro-switches, it maintains a standard layout that fits into most high-power tactile switch footprints on a PCB.

  • Crisp Click Response: Features a high-quality internal metal dome that provides an audible "click" and clear tactile feedback, ensuring the user knows the button has been pressed.

  • 4-Pin Mechanical Stability: The four-pin configuration ensures the switch remains stable and level on the PCB even when subjected to off-center or heavy-handed presses.

Prototyping & Installation Tip (Panel Design) If you are designing a 3D-printed enclosure at your Pimpri facility for these switches, create a circular cutout of 13mm diameter for the caps to pass through. This provides a 0.5mm clearance around the cap, ensuring it doesn't rub against the walls of the enclosure. For the best user experience, mount the PCB so that only the colored cap is visible above the surface of your panel.
