The Tactile Push Button Switch 12x12mm is a momentary, normally-open switch widely used on breadboards and PCBs for reset buttons, user inputs, and general-purpose control in Arduino and STM32 projects. Its square 12mm footprint and 4-pin through-hole legs make it a drop-in choice for countless prototyping boards.
Key features:
- Momentary Action: Normally-open contact that closes only while pressed, then springs back automatically.
- 4-Pin THT Mounting: Diagonal pin pairs solder directly into standard breadboards and prototyping PCBs.
- Compact Footprint: 12mm x 12mm square body keeps board layouts tidy.
- Rated Voltage: 12V DC.
- Rated Current: 50mA.
- Actuation Force: Light press of about 160gf for comfortable, repeated use.
It’s a reliable, low-cost building block for reset circuits, mode-select buttons, and general digital inputs across almost any hobbyist project.
