6-pin DPDT push button switch in a compact 5.8×5.8mm DIP footprint — mounts directly to PCB. Rated DC 12V / 50mA with a 100,000 cycle electrical life. Available in self-locking (latching) or momentary action. Pack of 10.
- 6-pin DPDT — switch two independent circuits simultaneously
- 5.8×5.8mm body — fits standard PCB layouts
- 2mm pin pitch — DIP through-hole mounting
- 100,000 cycle electrical life
- Rated DC 12V / 50mA
- Available in latching or momentary action
Variant Guide
Press ON — stays ON. Press again to release. Best for power switches and persistent on/off controls.
Active only while held. Releases when you let go. Best for trigger inputs, reset buttons, and signal sending.
Not suitable for driving loads directly. Use a relay or MOSFET to switch higher current loads.
Specifications
Pin Configuration — 6-Pin DPDT
Wiring Instructions
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.
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.
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.
2mm pin pitch, 2 rows of 3 pins. Fits standard DIP footprints. Confirm hole spacing against your PCB layout before soldering.
What's Included
Supplied as loose components ready for PCB mounting. Select latching or momentary at time of purchase.
Common Uses
Common Questions
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.
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.
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.
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.
