The TS-00100B series is a high-reliability, surface-mount right-angle tactile switch engineered for compact, space-constrained PCB designs requiring precise tactile feedback and robust mechanical stability. With compact outer dimensions of 7.1 × 8.5 × 7.0 mm, this switch fits seamlessly into tight layouts while maintaining excellent performance in various applications, such as consumer electronics, industrial controls, automotive interfaces, medical devices, and telecommunications equipment.

The switch features a side-actuated (right-angle) design with a customizable actuator length, allowing engineers to tailor the protrusion and ergonomics to specific enclosure or user interface requirements. This flexibility ensures optimal finger access and consistent feel without compromising board space.

For secure mounting, the TS-00100B incorporates four surface-mount terminals combined with one through-hole support pin. This hybrid fixation method delivers superior shear strength, vibration resistance, and long-term PCB stability—ideal for environments subject to mechanical stress or repeated actuation.

Electrically, it is rated for DC 32V / 50mA, supporting a wide range of low-power signal switching needs. The operation force of 160 gf provides a crisp, well-defined tactile “click” that conveys positive confirmation to the user, enhancing overall interface quality and reducing accidental presses.

Functionally and dimensionally identical to the TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH STSE16BRSTR (part number 2506477-1), the TS-00100B serves as an excellent drop-in alternative. It matches the original’s footprint, height, actuation characteristics, and performance profile—including side actuation, sealed construction for dust/moisture protection (comparable IP67-level reliability in similar models), and dependable lifecycle. This compatibility allows designers to substitute the TS-00100B seamlessly in existing designs, often at improved cost or availability, without requalification or layout changes.

Manufactured with high-quality materials, the TS-00100B delivers consistent tactile response, low contact resistance, and extended operational life, making it a trusted choice for applications demanding precision, durability, and form-factor equivalence to premium branded components.
