Debuting as the company's smallest three-leg, metal dome switch, the WT04170 features a 4-mm profile with a life span of 500,000 cycles and the ability to handle 170g of force. A selling feature of the three-leg dome is a higher tactile ratio, providing a crisp, snap feel. Tactile ratio is between 60% and 75%. Additionally, the three-leg design allows the switches to fit closely to each other and other components. The WT-Series features stainless-steel domes, an operating temperature range from -45°C to +100°C, a switching voltage of 0.1 to 50 Vdc, switching current of 0.005 mA to 100 mA, and a switching capacity of 1W.
