Description
6mm Micro SPST Vertical Push Button 4pin for Breadboard
The 6x6mm DIP Mini Tactile Push Button Switch is a compact 4-leg momentary push button designed for PCB mounting and electronic prototyping. When the button is pressed, the normally open contacts temporarily close to complete the circuit, making it suitable for use as an input button or control switch.
Its small 6×6mm footprint makes it useful for space-constrained electronic designs, while the through-hole construction allows easy PCB soldering and prototyping. It can also be used with suitable solderless breadboard setups.
The switch provides tactile feedback and is suitable for DIY electronics, control interfaces, consumer electronics, testing equipment, and various embedded projects.
