Identify push button and/or suggest similar
« on: December 08, 2021, 05:44:57 pm »
Some time ago I extracted the pictured buttons from some broken car infotainment system. I really liked their action. They are somewhat soft with no audible click, but there is a nice tactile feel when you press it. The press force required is slightly lower than of a typical 6x6 mm tactile button.

The size of the body is about 5x5 mm.

I'm looking for similar buttons. I don't need this exact one or footprint to match. I need it for a new application, but I want to have the same feel.

Any ideas?
Alex

Panasonic manufacture similar (maybe the original) buttons:

Well, I was wrong, these ALPS buttons look exactly like yours:

I ordered clones. Next time I need something from mouser I'll order Alps ones and we'll see if there is a practical difference between them. There is certainly a price difference.
