Tactile Push Button Switch

Overview

The Tactile Push Button Switch is a compact, reliable momentary switch that provides clear tactile feedback when pressed. Designed for easy integration into hobby and professional projects, this switch is ideal for Arduino and Raspberry Pi applications, control panels, robotics, and DIY electronics kits. Its momentary action makes it perfect for triggering functions such as starting motors, toggling LEDs, or sending input commands to microcontrollers.

Key Features

• Momentary action: returns to default position when released for temporary control
• Tactile feedback: satisfying click to confirm actuation
• Compact design: small footprint for space-constrained projects
• Durable construction: rated for over 100,000 presses
• Low contact resistance: consistent electrical performance
• Multiple mounting options: 4-pin through-hole or SMD depending on model
• Available colors: red, green, blue, and more for visual distinction

Applications and Use Cases

This tactile switch is suited for a wide range of projects and use cases:

• Arduino projects: user inputs, menu navigation, and event triggers
• Raspberry Pi systems: simple control interfaces and GPIO inputs
• Control panels and dashboards: reliable manual switches for operators
• Robotics: command inputs, mode selection, and manual overrides
• DIY electronics kits and prototypes: easy-to-use building block for learners and makers

Installation and Wiring Tips

• Confirm the pin configuration for your specific model before soldering
• For breadboard prototyping, use the through-hole variant for secure connections
• Use a pull-up or pull-down resistor on microcontroller inputs to avoid floating states
• Test the switch with a multimeter to verify continuity and orientation before final assembly
