A right angle tactile switch performs functions that standard tact switches cannot. The right angle mounting feature allows the tactile switch to be mounted perpendicular to the circuit board, which is ideal for edge-mounted or space-constrained designs.

This orientation supports front-panel access in enclosures or control systems, making the switch easier to reach and operate. It also helps with efficient PCB layout and cable routing, especially in compact systems with a limited amount of vertical space. Examples include side-facing buttons on remote controls, smartwatches, fitness trackers, audio devices, laptops, control panels, key fobs, diagnostic tools and home appliances.
