BL-Series

Our BL-Series metal tactile domes are four-legged switch contacts that were designed for mounting on single or double sided printed circuit boards, flex circuits and membranes, where traces can be fed under the domes on the same side of the board. What differentiates the BL-Series domes from other four leg metal domes is the hole in the center of the dome. The hole allows for the placement of an LED directly behind the dome switch rather than off the side. The result is more intense lighting effect. Applications requiring a back-lit switch with extensive tactile feedback are a perfect fit with the BL-Series domes. The BL-Series domes come in three different sizes, and can be used anywhere a momentary switch with tactile feedback is required, while still achieving impressive actuation life cycles. The BL-Series domes are placed on a PC board by means of pressure sensitive adhesive tape. In their relaxed state they rest on the outer rim of the primary pathway. When they are pushed, the centers of the domes collapse and make contact with the secondary pathway, thereby closing the circuit.

Our BL-Series tactile metal domes are manufactured entirely in Windsor, Colorado, to our exacting specifications to ensure that you always receive the highest quality product with consistent characteristics every time you order.

If your product is battery operated or requires very low contact resistance, you may want to consider optional gold plating.

Typical dimensional tolerance is +/-.005” reference.
