2pin DIP Tact Switch Snap‑in Type – Compact 2×4×3.5mm Push Button Switch for PCB Mounting
Product Overview
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.

Why Engineers Choose This Snap-in Tactile Switch
Solderless Snap-in Mounting
The innovative snap-in retention system eliminates the need for wave or reflow soldering in low-current applications. Simply press the switch into pre-drilled PCB holes – the plastic barbs lock securely, reducing assembly time by up to 70%.
Ultra-Compact 2×4×3.5mm Footprint
This compact tact switch occupies minimal PCB real estate, making it ideal for high-density layouts in portable electronics, wearables, and IoT devices where every millimeter counts.
Dual Operating Force Options
Choose between 180gf for a light, soft tactile feel (consumer electronics) or 260gf for a firm, positive click (industrial/automotive). Both options deliver the characteristic audible feedback operators expect.
Extended Mechanical Life
Engineered for durability: 50,000 cycles at 180gf or 100,000 cycles at 260gf. The precision metal dome contact design ensures consistent performance throughout the product lifecycle.
Global Compliance Ready
Fully compliant with RoHS 3 (EU Directive 2015/863) and REACH SVHC regulations. ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturing ensures consistent quality for worldwide export.
Reliable Signal-Grade Performance
Rated 50mA at DC 12V with contact resistance ≤100mΩ and insulation resistance ≥100MΩ. The metal dome design provides excellent bounce-free switching for clean signal transmission.
