smt Switch with big Button

tonyp12

Most smt switches are kind of made to have external plastic pushing on it and not directly with your finger.
As we DIY don't mass produce, having plastic plunges made is out the question.

These new Panasonic Tactile Switches seems to fix that, as it's nearly all-button

P.S I would oversize the pads so you don't rip the switch of the board if you push at a angle.

Thanks Tony! So freaking strange that i just spent the weekend making a plunger out of spring and small brass rod. What I need is a button like this but with a variable length plunger that will stick out the back panel. At least this button is big enough users should find it!
