7x7mm DPDT Self Lock Type On/Off Switch

Overview

The 7x7mm DPDT self-lock switch is a compact, reliable On/Off push button designed for electronic projects, control panels and prototypes. This DPDT self-lock switch features a push-to-lock mechanism so the button stays in the ON position until it is pressed again, making it ideal for toggle operations where a maintained contact is required.

Product Snapshot

• Type: DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw)
• Terminals: 6-pin design for independent dual-circuit control
• Action: Self-lock (press ON, press again to OFF)
• Size: Compact 7x7mm footprint for tight installations
• Build: Plastic body with metal contacts for reliable switching

Key Features

• Dual-circuit control: DPDT configuration lets you switch two separate circuits simultaneously.
• Self-locking mechanism: Maintained On/Off action removes the need to hold the button.
• 6-pin terminals: Standard pin layout for PCB or panel wiring.
• Compact form factor: 7x7mm size saves space in crowded enclosures and control panels.
• Durable contacts: Metal contacts provide long-lasting performance and consistent conductivity.
• Easy integration: Works well with breadboards, PCBs, and front panels for rapid prototyping and installation.

Wiring and Installation Tips

• Identify the common and throw terminals before wiring; use a multimeter to confirm continuity in ON and OFF positions.
• Solder connections to the 6-pin terminals for secure PCB mounting and reliable contact.
• When panel mounting, ensure the panel hole matches the switch body dimensions and use appropriate retainers or clips if supplied.
• For breadboard experiments, confirm pin spacing and use jumper wires to interface with the 6-pin layout.

Why Choose This 7x7mm DPDT Self-Lock Switch

• Small footprint with full DPDT functionality makes it perfect where space is limited but dual-circuit switching is required.
• Self-locking action provides a clear tactile On/Off state for user interfaces and control panels.
• Robust materials and standard terminal layout simplify installation and improve durability in repeated use.
