Buttons that are used as operating elements on high-quality machines and devices must have good tactility in addition to high switching reliability and a long service life. This includes an actuation force appropriate to the application and the field of application in order to avoid incorrect operation and at the same time guarantee pleasant operability with clear feedback. The micro pushbuttons of the Micon 5 series from Rafi were created for these requirements.
The probes with a footprint of only 5,1 x 6,4 mm and 3,85 mm height are suitable for different fields of application for mechanical actuation forces of 3, 4,5, 5,5 and 8 N. A very good tactility and a clearly audible key click on actuation meet high demands on the comfortable Service. Gold contacts ensure high switching reliability and a long service life. Depending on the chosen operating force, the manufacturer guarantees between 250.000 and one million operations. Micon 5 are available with SMT and THT connection techniques.
An extensive range of plunger and keycap accessories allows suitable solutions for every application. Round and square plungers in different dimensions and lighting variants are available for the use of the buttons under decorative film. The round, opaque rams are available in diameters from 6 to 19 mm and lengths from 3 to 10,3 mm. For ring illuminations there are illuminated fields in different sizes. The square plungers are available with irises in the colors white, red, blue, yellow and green with edge lengths of 11, 14,5 or 18 mm, the height is 9,7 or 12,5 mm. In addition, different variants for corner illumination are offered for the signaling of switching and machine states. Matching light fields complete the portfolio.
