The KH-6X6X18H-TJ from Kinghelm is a through-hole switch with a round black button design, measuring 6mm x 6mm with an overall height of 18mm. This makes it ideal for applications where space is limited but a precise tactile feel and reliable actuation are required. The switch features PC pin terminals, supporting traditional PCB through-hole soldering and is fully compatible with automated production lines. Compared to surface-mount variants, this through-hole model offers greater mechanical strength, reducing the risk of cold solder joints or component displacement—especially important in industrial or commercial devices subject to frequent use.

Performance-wise, the Kinghelm KH-6X6X18H-TJ tactile switch delivers impressive specifications. It supports a contact current of 50mA at a rated voltage of 12V DC, meeting the operational needs of most low-current circuits. Its insulation resistance reaches up to 100MΩ, ensuring excellent protection against current leakage and short circuits—key for stable, long-term system performance. The internal single-pole single-throw (SPST) circuit configuration ensures simple and responsive operation. The actuation force is rated at 260gf ±30gf, striking a comfortable balance between tactile feedback and operational sensitivity, thereby enhancing the end-user experience.

Unlike certain bracketed models, the KH-6X6X18H-TJ tactile switch features a non-bracket design, offering greater flexibility in layout and easier integration into complex circuit boards or control panels. This makes it especially suitable for remote controls, smart interface panels, game controllers, small appliances, and instrumentation. Weighing only 0.422 grams, this lightweight component contributes minimal additional weight—an advantage for handheld and portable electronics.

From a market perspective, tactile switches continue to see strong demand across sectors like smart hardware, consumer electronics, and industrial automation. With the rapid growth of IoT, wearables, and smart home technologies, tactile switches have become indispensable components, prized for their precision, durability, and user-friendly interaction. The KH-6X6X18H-TJ, backed by Kinghelm’s quality assurance, stands out in the crowded field of tactile switches and is gaining traction as a preferred choice in mid-to-high-end applications.
