RAFI RF 15 Tactile Keyswitch, 296gf, 15x15mm

The RAFI RF 15 is a high-quality, short-travel tactile keyswitch designed for reliable operation in demanding environments. This snap-action switch features a single-pole, single-throw, normally-open (SPST-NO) contact configuration, making it ideal for a wide range of momentary control applications. Constructed with durable silver contacts, it ensures excellent conductivity and a long electrical life.

Engineered for through-hole PCB mounting, this keyswitch offers a robust and secure connection. The actuator is top-mounted with a distinctive square button style, providing a positive tactile feel with an actuating force of 296gf. The switch head is finished with a transparent colour lens, allowing for easy identification and customisation.

Built to meet rigorous industrial standards, the RAFI RF 15 switch boasts an impressive minimum mechanical life of 1,000,000 operations. It features a high insulation resistance of 10⁹Ω and carries a UL94-HB flammability rating, confirming its suitability for safety-critical electronic controls. Its compact footprint of 15mm by 15mm makes it an excellent choice for space-constrained panel designs where reliable user input is essential.
