Tactile Button switch (6 mm) (20 pcs)

Tactile Button switch (6 mm) (20 pcs)

These clicky switches are really small – in fact, they measure just 6 mm – and are standard input buttons in electronic projects. Although they work best on a PCB, they can also be used on a breadboard without the need for soldering (as you can see in the tutorial linked below). The button’s pins are normally open (disconnected) and when the button is pressed, the pins are momentarily closed.

This product comes in a pack of 20; that might seem like a lot, but they’re so versatile that you’ll undoubtedly want to keep them to hand at all times.
