Design engineers require ever-smaller switch interfaces as the market demand for smaller, high-performance electronics grows—driven by innovations in healthcare, wearables, and battery-powered IoT devices. The expanded NanoT series is the smallest tactile switch solution on the market, providing design flexibility for engineers to integrate additional functionality or reduce printed circuit board (PCB) size.

Features

  • Space-saving design: Ultra-compact size allows designers to incorporate more functionality or reduce PCB size.
    • Side-actuated model (2.2 x 1.70 x 1.65 mm) saves 35% space.
    • Top-actuated model (2.1 x 1.65 x 0.55 mm) saves 20% space.
  • Customizable actuation forces: Available in 100, 160, and 240 gf options, catering to different application needs.
    • 100 gf: Ideal for high-frequency use, reducing user fatigue.
    • 160 gf: Balanced tactile feedback for general applications.
    • 240 gf: Firm activation
  • Mounting options: PIP or SMT edge-mount versions offer superior resistance to shock and shear, extending equipment life and reducing the need for extra protective layers.
  • Durability: Life cycles ranging from 200K to 300K ensure long-term reliability and reduce maintenance costs.
  • IP67 rating: Dust-tight and waterproof, ensuring reliability in challenging environments.

Applications:

  • Smart wearables
  • Health monitoring devices
  • Hearing aids
  • Wireless headsets
  • Portable IoT devices

“The NanoT switch combines space efficiency with high reliability, featuring short actuation travel, IP67-rated durability, and a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to 85°C,” said Junbao Chen, Design Centre Manager, Electronics Business Unit at Littelfuse. “Its ultra-compact size and ease of PCB/FPC integration make it ideal for confined spaces, while the haptic feedback ensures a satisfying user experience, optimizing designs and improving product quality.”
