NKK Switches Illuminated Low Profile Process Sealed Tactile JB15LPC-BC

The JB15LPC-BC is an illuminated, low-profile, sealed tactile switch in the JB series, designed for low-voltage, low-current logic-level circuits. It features a short actuator, straight PC terminals, and a flat snap-on cap with a white button over a red lens and diffuser. The switch has a dome contact providing crisp tactile feedback, with a nominal operating force of 1.76N and total travel of 0.254mm. It includes a nitrile rubber seal, glass fiber reinforced polyamide case (UL94V-0), and brass contacts with silver plating. Terminals conform to a 2.54mm PCB grid with spring-action design for secure mounting. Electrical life is rated at 5,000,000 operations minimum, with a contact resistance of 50 milliohms maximum and insulation resistance of 500 megohms minimum. Operating temperature ranges from -25°C to +70°C. The switch supports wave soldering and automated cleaning, with an integrated red LED requiring an external power source.
