This latching pushbutton toggle switch provides a simple push on / push off action — press once to turn on, press again to turn off. It delivers a satisfying tactile click and can reliably handle up to 500 mA at up to 50 V, making it well suited as a power switch or mode toggle for electronics projects.
The switch is breadboard-friendly, though the leads are not on a perfect 2.54 mm (0.1″) grid. A slight bend of the leads allows it to snap into a solderless breadboard or perfboard without difficulty.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- solderless breadboard
- A reusable board with rows of internally connected holes for building circuits by pushing in components and jumper wires, with no soldering required. It lets you prototype and rewire a circuit quickly and reversibly before committing to a permanent, soldered build.
- through-hole
- A mounting style where the component leads pass through holes in a circuit board and are soldered on the other side. Through-hole parts are often easier to handle and solder by hand, which is useful for classroom and hobby projects.
