SMD tact switch with cap
The SMD (Surface-Mount Device) tact switch with cap is a compact, reliable switch used in various electronic devices and applications. The switch is mounted directly onto a printed circuit board (PCB) and is designed to be activated by pressing the cap. The cap provides a user-friendly interface and helps in guiding the pressing action.
