8x8 mm Two-Pin Push Button Switch

The Two-Pin Silicone Push Button Switch is a widely used component in designing and building electronic circuits. Its simple design, affordable price, and reliable performance make it suitable for a variety of industrial and educational projects. This Single-Pole Two-Terminal Carbon Switch, measuring 8 × 8 mm with two metal pins, allows for quick soldering and easy mounting on circuit boards. Its operation is momentary, meaning it only activates while pressed and returns to its default open state once released.

The switch features a soft and durable silicone cover, providing a comfortable tactile feel while resisting dust and wear. This makes the 8×8 mm Two-Pin Push Button Switch ideal for microcontroller projects, Arduino kits, robotics, and small control devices. Low power consumption, long lifespan, and easy installation further enhance the appeal of this Soft-Tact Switch.

This type of switch can be used for control panels, reset and power buttons, custom calculators, and various test boards. Its compact square design allows installation in tight spaces. Thanks to its simple structure and high functionality, it is a popular choice among PCB designers and prototype developers. In fact, the Electronic Board Push Button Switch serves as an ideal component for manual momentary control in different circuits.

As a Two-Pin Momentary Switch, it requires no additional circuitry for returning to its default state; pressing the button completes the connection, and releasing it breaks the circuit. This feature is especially useful in testing or manual signal control applications. If you are looking for a simple, reliable, and cost-effective component for input control in your circuits, the Two-Pin Silicone Push Button Switch is a professional and dependable choice.
