Sourcing tactile domes
« on: May 04, 2015, 07:11:33 pm »
I'm interested in using tactile domes in my project as front panel user interface buttons. Trouble is I can't seem to find anywhere that I can just buy a load from. A Google search of 'tactile domes' brings up loads of manufacturers websites, but they don't sell directly so I was hoping RS/Farnell/Mouser/Digikey would supply them, but they don't appear to sell them.

I'm in the UK - does anyone know where I can buy these from? I've tried eBay, no joy.

Anything similar to this really:

Something like this, if you don't mind the long delivery time.

A similar question was asked here about a month ago  ;)

You could try mailing Snaptron, they pretty much discourage resellers so you could probably buy some from them. But it would depend on the amount. (at for example 50pcs, I would understand them not wanting to sell  ;D). Seeing as these things are sold in pretty large quantities.

*edit*
Fixed the link

Thanks for the link. I did try searching the forums but that thread didn't show up.

I may actually just go with the ultra low profile switch linked to in that thread. May be easier in the long run.

Where are you?

Make sure the PCB is flashed with a high wearing conductive coating otherwise you'll be replacing/cleaning them every time the weather changes.

I can throw some in an envelope for you from my bits and pieces collection if you ultimately can't source any.
