Description:
A 5mm Square Tactile Switch is a specialized electronic switch that provides a crisp, "clicky" physical feedback (tactile feel) to the user when pressed. This 10-piece pack features switches that are "Normally Open" (N/O), meaning the electrical circuit is only completed while the button is actively held down.
Commonly used as reset buttons on PCBs or as input keys for control panels, these switches are designed for durability, typically rated for tens of thousands of cycles. Their small footprint makes them ideal for high-density circuit designs where space is at a premium.
Features:
Tactile Feedback: Provides a clear mechanical click to confirm the switch has been successfully actuated.
Momentary Action: The switch springs back to the "OFF" position immediately upon release.
High Precision: Internal metal dome mechanism ensures consistent operation and a long electrical lifecycle.
PCB Friendly: Available in both Through-Hole (DIP) with 4 pins for breadboard stability and Surface Mount (SMD) for compact production.
Anti-Contamination: Many versions are sealed to be dust-resistant (IP40 or IP65), preventing environmental interference with the electrical contacts.
