This compact 5-way directional pad gives your microcontroller project a familiar tactile input for up, down, left, right and centre presses.
It is an SMD switch, making it suitable for custom PCBs where you need a low-profile navigation control or menu input without using multiple separate buttons.
This is the same D-Pad switch used on the SparkFun Qwiic Directional Pad.
Specifications:
- Rating: 12VDC, 100mA
- Contact Resistance: 80mΩ Max
- Insulation Resistance: 100MΩ Min
- Mechanical Life: 50,000 cycles Min
- Mounting Style: SMD
- Dimensions: 10.5 x 10.5 x 1.7mm
A handy choice for handheld controllers, small user interfaces, menu navigation and maker projects that need directional input.
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a single chip that runs a stored program and controls connected inputs and outputs such as buttons, sensors, displays and communication interfaces. In a device built around one, it is the part that executes the code and coordinates the device's behaviour.
- Qwiic
- Qwiic is a plug-in connector system for I2C devices that uses small 4-pin cables, so you can connect compatible sensors without soldering. It matters because your controller or adapter also needs Qwiic, or you will need a cable or breakout to wire it up.
- SMD
- SMD means surface-mount device, a component style designed to be soldered directly onto the surface of a circuit board rather than through holes. SMD parts are compact and mounted flat on the board, which suits smaller and mass-produced designs.
