Snap dome buttons
« on: December 13, 2022, 10:13:53 pm »
I need some of those metal snap dome buttons for a repair project, those cheap things that are typically just taped over a PCB and then have an overlay sticker laid over them. What is the proper name for those and can I get a small quantity of them from someplace like Digikey?

You can literally type "snap dome" into digikey search and get what you wanted. That is the correct name.

That's weird, I could swear that's exactly what I tried searching for and found nothing.  :-//

Digi-Key is sensitive to typos (in that they don’t have a fuzzy search, which I largely appreciate). It’s certainly happened to me that I got no results and then realized I’d mistyped.
