The 2pin DIP tact switch snap-in type is a revolutionary momentary contact switch designed for rapid, solderless PCB assembly. Vistar Electronics, a leading snap-in tactile switch manufacturer based in Shenzhen, China, presents the TS‑1100E – an ultra-compact PCB push button switch engineered for space-constrained electronic devices. Measuring just 2×4×3.5mm, this compact tact switch delivers exceptional performance while minimizing board real estate.

Unlike conventional through-hole tactile switches requiring wave or reflow soldering, this innovative 2pin DIP tact switch snap-in type features specially engineered plastic retention clips that mechanically lock into pre-drilled PCB holes. This snap-in mechanism eliminates soldering entirely for low-current signal applications, dramatically reducing assembly time and production costs.

The TS‑1100E operates as an SPST-NO (Single-Pole Single-Throw, Normally Open) switch. When pressed, the precision metal dome collapses to complete the circuit between the two pins. Upon release, the dome springs back, breaking the circuit and producing the distinctive tactile “click” that provides clear operator feedback. This momentary contact switch design ensures reliable operation across thousands of cycles.

For engineers seeking comprehensive guidance on tactile switch selection and metal dome technology, we recommend reviewing the Tactile Switch Testing Standards Guide from Vistar Electronics. This resource provides detailed insights into quality testing methodologies that ensure long-term switch reliability.

All Vistar TS‑1100E switches are manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 certification and comply with RoHS 3 (EU Directive 2015/863) and REACH SVHC regulations, ensuring seamless global market access for your products.
