Panasonic has rounded out its 6.0mm x 6.0mm SMD tactile switch lineup with the new EVP-BX, a quiet-type switch engineered specifically for noise-sensitive designs. By adding this silent option alongside the established EVP-BD, EVP-0B, and EVP-CD series, hardware engineers now have the flexibility to dial in the exact acoustic profile a product needs without sacrificing reliability.
Available in 4N and 6N operating forces, the EVP-BX is rated for a robust 200,000 cycles. That level of durability makes it an excellent fit for demanding automotive, industrial, and high-end audio environments where both longevity and quiet operation are non-negotiable.
What sets the EVP-BX apart is how it balances feel and sound. The rubber dome construction ensures genuinely silent actuation, yet it still delivers a high click ratio for a crisp, satisfying tactile response. Additionally, the combination of a higher operating force and longer travel distance provides a built-in safeguard against accidental presses.
It is a highly versatile component. Whether you are designing gaming controllers, AR glasses, wireless earbuds, or portable medical devices, the EVP-BX provides the refined, durable user interface that modern electronics demand.
