These 6 mm tall tactile switch buttons are momentary normally-open pushbuttons commonly used as input buttons in electronics projects. The extra height makes them useful for projects in enclosures where the buttons need to protrude through the case.
They work best when soldered into a PCB but can also be used on a solderless breadboard. The pins are normally open (disconnected) and close momentarily when pressed.
Key Features
- Momentary Action – Normally open, closes when pressed
- 6 mm Tall – Extra height for enclosure-mounted projects
- PCB & Breadboard Compatible – Through-hole pins fit standard 2.54 mm spacing
Specifications
- Type: Momentary tactile switch
- Button Height: 6 mm
- Contact: Normally open
- EAGLE Package: switch-omron:B3F-40XX
Ideal For
- User input on Arduino and microcontroller projects
- Enclosure-mounted controls
- Breadboard prototyping
Package Contents
- 10× Tactile switch buttons (6 mm tall)
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.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board (PCB) is a board, usually rigid, with etched copper tracks that connect electronic components together without loose wiring. Components are mounted on the board and signals route between them through the copper layout.
- 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.
