Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between the 6×6×4.3mm and 6×6×5mm tactile push button switches?
A: The only difference is the height of the actuator (button stem). The 4.3mm version sits slightly lower on the PCB, while the 5mm version has a taller stem. Both share the same 6×6mm footprint and are fully interchangeable in terms of electrical characteristics and PCB hole spacing. Choose based on your enclosure clearance or personal preference.
Q: Are these tactile push button switches compatible with Arduino and breadboard projects?
A: Yes! The DIP (through-hole) design with standard 6×6mm spacing is perfectly compatible with breadboards, perfboards, and custom PCBs used in Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other microcontroller projects. Simply insert the four pins into the board and solder or press-fit as needed.
Q: How many switches are included in this pack?
A: Each pack includes 50 pieces of DIP tactile push button micro switches, giving you plenty of stock for multiple projects or repairs.
Q: What type of contact action do these switches use?
A: These are momentary contact switches — the circuit closes only while the button is pressed and returns to open when released. This makes them ideal for inputs, resets, triggers, and any application requiring a brief contact signal.
