Common Questions
What is the difference between 5.8×5.8mm and 7×7mm?
The dimensions refer to the body footprint of the switch. The 5.8×5.8mm is more compact and suits tighter PCB layouts, while the 7×7mm has a larger body and button surface. Both are electrically identical — choose based on your board spacing and the feel you want.
How is a 6-pin switch wired differently to a standard 2-pin?
The 6-pin DIP layout provides two sets of contacts (3 pins per side), effectively giving you DPDT (double-pole double-throw) switching. This lets you switch two independent circuits simultaneously, or wire both sides in parallel for increased current capacity.
Please note: Select your required size and action (Self-Locking or Momentary) from the variant selector before adding to cart.
