Tactile Push Button Switch 6x6x12MM
6x6x12mm Tactile 4 Pin Push Button Switch is widely used as a standard input button on electronic projects. These work best when you mount it on PCB but can also be used on a solderless breadboard for temporary connections in prototypes. The pins are normally open (disconnected) and when the button is pressed they are momentarily closed and complete the circuit.
This tact switch also offers reliable dome contact technology and strong tactile feedback, with multiple operating forces to choose from. Applications include telecommunications, consumer electronics, audio/visual, medical devices, testing/instrumentation, and computer/peripherals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mount these switches on a solderless breadboard?
Yes. Although designed for through-hole PCBs, the 0.5 mm pins fit standard solderless breadboards for quick prototyping and testing.
How do I choose between the 1.5 N and 2.5 N operating force options?
Use the 1.5 N version for lighter, fingertip-friendly applications; choose 2.5 N if you need firmer feedback or automotive-grade resistance.
Are these switches waterproof and dustproof?
They feature a sealed actuator design that prevents water, oil and dust ingress, and offers anti-pollution and anti-static interference protection.
