As the name implies, the foot is a plug-in DIP tact switch, which can be understood as a touch switch inserted on the board for welding.
The patch touch switch, also known as SMD tact switch, is a touch switch that can be operated directly with the patch machine.
Light touch switch have plug-ins and patches, tend to be welded on the PCB board, its internal structure is very simple, a shell and a contact line, no matter how few feet only two feet on the edge of the conductive (except the special keys), base has very good heat resistance ability, use a larger footprint on board, assembly contrast pot or wafer products more time-consuming.
The life of the pan button or button with a sticker is higher than that of the light touch switch, up to 1 million times. Assembly above whether manual or mechanical are more convenient, if it is with stickers that can be assembled a few or the dozen more convenient.
