Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What sizes are included in this tactile push button micro switch kit?
A: This 10-piece kit includes self-locking tactile micro switches in four sizes: 5.8×5.8mm, 7×7mm, 8×8mm, and 8.5×8.5mm. This variety makes the kit ideal for use across different PCB layouts and electronics project requirements.
Q: What is the difference between a self-locking and a momentary push button switch?
A: A self-locking push button switch stays in its pressed (ON) position after you press it and returns to the OFF position when pressed again — much like a ballpoint pen click mechanism. A momentary switch only stays active while held down. These 6-pin switches use the self-locking design, making them great for toggle-on, toggle-off control applications.
Q: Are these micro switches compatible with Arduino or Raspberry Pi projects?
A: Yes! These 6-pin tactile push button switches are rated at DC 12V / 0.1A and are perfectly suited for use in Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other microcontroller-based DIY electronics builds. Their compact sizes make them easy to integrate on standard breadboards and PCBs.
Q: How many times can these switches be actuated before wearing out?
A: Each switch in this kit is rated for a service life of up to 10,000 actuation cycles, ensuring long-lasting performance for your electronics projects and repairs.
