The **KURE-43M2-R** is a specific electronic component, typically classified as a **Tactile Switch** (also known as a micro-switch or momentary push-button). These are widely used in consumer electronics, automotive interfaces, and industrial controls. Below is a detailed breakdown of its specifications and characteristics. --- ### 1. General Specifications Tactile switches like the KURE series are designed for low-current applications where physical "click" feedback (tactile response) is required. | Parameter | Typical Value | | :--- | :--- | | **Type** | Momentary Tactile Switch | | **Mounting Type** | Surface Mount (SMD / SMT) | | **Circuit** | SPST - NO (Single Pole Single Throw - Normally Open) | | **Operating Force** | 1.6N to 2.5N (varies by specific sub-model) | | **Travel** | ~0.25mm | | **Rated Voltage/Current** | 12V DC / 50mA | | **Contact Resistance** | < 100mΩ | --- ### 2. Physical Construction The KURE-43M2-R is engineered for durability and compact sizing. Its construction usually involves: * **Actuator:** The top button part that the user presses. * **Cover/Frame:** Typically made of stainless steel or high-temperature plastic to withstand reflow soldering. * **Contact Dome:** A metal snap-dome (often stainless steel) that provides the "click" sound and completes the circuit. * **Terminals:** Silver-plated or Gold-plated leads for Surface Mount Technology (SMT) integration. --- ### 3. Key Features * **Tactile Feedback:** Provides a sharp, clear "click" sensation, confirming to the user that the button has been successfully pressed. * **Low Profile:** The "43" in the series often refers to the specific height or footprint dimensions, making it suitable for thin devices like remote controls or smartphones. * **High Reliability:** Designed for a high number of operating cycles (typically 100,000 to 500,000 cycles). * **Environmental Sealing:** Depending on the exact revision, these often feature basic dust resistance. --- ### 4. Typical Applications The KURE-43M2-R is commonly found in: 1. **Consumer Electronics:** TV remote buttons, camera shutters, and smart home hubs. 2. **Computing:** Reset buttons on motherboards or side buttons on mice/tablets. 3. **Automotive:** Steering wheel controls or dashboard interface buttons. 4. **Medical Devices:** Control panels for portable diagnostic equipment. --- ### 5.
