The PBS-33B is a 12mm panel-mount momentary push button with two solder terminals. It connects the two terminals only while you hold it down, so it suits reset buttons, triggers and microcontroller inputs. It comes in six colours and is sold individually: each quantity is one switch in the colour you choose.

Wiring & getting started
- Fit the switch
Drill a 12mm hole, push the switch through from the front and tighten the nut from behind.
- Connect a digital input
With the board powered off, solder one terminal to a digital input and the other to GND. The terminals are not polarised. For an Arduino input, enable
INPUT_PULLUP. - Check the response
With that pull-up wiring, the input reads HIGH when released and LOW while pressed. Add software debouncing if one press registers more than once.
Note: No current rating is marked on these switches, so use them for low-voltage signal circuits up to 12V DC, such as microcontroller inputs. To control a motor, lamp, pump or anything on mains, have the button drive a relay or transistor instead of switching the load directly.
