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)

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.
