Variant Guide
🔒
Self-Locking (Latching)
Press ON — stays ON. Press again to release. Best for power switches and persistent on/off controls.
⚡
Momentary
Active only while held. Releases when you let go. Best for trigger inputs, reset buttons, and signal sending.
⚠
Current limit — 50mA max
Not suitable for driving loads directly. Use a relay or MOSFET to switch higher current loads.
Please note: Rated DC 12V / 50mA — not suitable for mains voltage or high-current applications. Pack of 10.

Wiring Instructions
1
Simple on/off (single pole)
Wire between pin 1 (or 2) and pin 5. Use one pole only — the second pole can be left unconnected or used for a second independent circuit.
2
Dual-circuit switching (DPDT)
Use both poles simultaneously. Pins 1+2 share the same node; pins 3+4 share the same node. Connect each common to its respective circuit.
3
Driving higher loads
Do not exceed 50mA through the contacts. Use these switches to trigger the gate of a MOSFET or the coil of a relay to switch full load current.
4
PCB footprint
2mm pin pitch, 2 rows of 3 pins. Fits standard DIP footprints. Confirm hole spacing against your PCB layout before soldering.
Please note: Rated DC 12V / 50mA — not suitable for mains voltage or high-current applications.
What's Included
10×
5.8×5.8mm DPDT push button switches (selected action type)
Supplied as loose components ready for PCB mounting. Select latching or momentary at time of purchase.
Please note: Action type (latching or momentary) is selected at time of purchase and cannot be changed after ordering.
Common Uses
Arduino and ESP32 power on/off buttons on PCB builds
Flashlight and LED strip power switches (self-locking)
Audio amplifier input and channel switching (DPDT)
Toy and appliance controls — fans, motors, kitchen ventilators
Reset and trigger inputs on prototype PCBs (momentary)
Remote control and handheld device button replacement
Please note: DPDT configuration allows simultaneous switching of two independent circuits — useful for audio input selection, polarity reversal, and dual-rail power switching.
Common Questions
Not sure whether to choose latching or momentary?
If you need it to stay on after you let go — choose self-locking (latching). If you only need it active while pressing — choose momentary. Most power switches use latching; most input buttons and reset triggers use momentary.
Can I switch more than 50mA through this?
No — the contacts are rated 50mA max at DC 12V. For higher loads, use this switch to control the gate of a MOSFET or the coil of a relay, which can then switch the full load current safely.
Do I need to use both poles?
No. For simple on/off use, wire just one pole (pins 1 and 5, or pins 3 and 6). The second pole can be left unconnected or used independently for a second circuit.
What is the pin pitch?
2mm pitch, arranged as 2 rows of 3 pins. Confirm your PCB footprint matches before ordering — this is a smaller pitch than standard 2.54mm DIP components.
