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 chip that runs your program and controls connected inputs and outputs. For this product, it is the part that reads buttons and sensors, drives the display and speaker, and communicates over Bluetooth.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board is a rigid board with copper tracks that connect electronic parts without loose wires. For this kit, the PCBs also form the airplane shape, so they are both the circuit base and part of the finished model.
- solderless breadboard
- A reusable board with connected holes for building temporary circuits without soldering. It matters in beginner kits because students can change wiring quickly and safely while learning how components connect.
