A compact latching power switch with built-in reverse voltage protection. One push turns power on, another push turns it off – providing clean, reliable power control without bulky mechanical switches.

This low-voltage (LV) version operates from 2.2V to 20V with up to 6A continuous current, making it ideal for battery-powered robots, portable electronics, and microcontroller projects. Additional control inputs enable advanced features like automatic shutdown triggered by the device being powered.

Key Features

  • Latching Pushbutton Control – Push on, push off operation
  • Reverse Voltage Protection – Protects your circuit from incorrect polarity
  • Wide Voltage Range – Operates from 2.2V to 20V
  • High Current Capacity – Up to 6A continuous
  • Control Inputs – Enable automatic shutdown from your microcontroller
  • Compact Size – Much smaller than mechanical toggle switches

Ideal For

  • Battery-powered robots
  • Portable electronics projects
  • Arduino and microcontroller power control
  • RC vehicles and drones
  • Any project needing clean on/off control

Specifications

  • Input Voltage: 2.2V to 20V
  • Maximum Continuous Current: 6A
  • Switch Type: Latching (push on/push off)
  • Protection: Reverse voltage

Package Contents

  • 1× Mini Pushbutton Power Switch (LV version)
Tip: Use the control inputs to let your microcontroller trigger a safe shutdown before power is cut – perfect for projects with SD cards or sensitive components.
