Easily control your electronic projects with this self-locking 8 × 8 mm, 6-pin push button switch. Press once to latch the mechanism and press again to release it. Unlike a momentary push button, it maintains its position after you let go, making it suitable for ON/OFF controls that require a maintained state.
Its compact size makes it easy to integrate into small devices and electronic circuit boards. Switches in this category generally feature a DPDT (Double Pole, Double Throw) contact arrangement, allowing two electrically separate circuits to be switched simultaneously. The through-hole pins are designed for soldering onto a printed circuit board.
| Specification | Description |
|---|---|
| Component type | Mechanically latching push button switch |
| Operation | Maintained ON/OFF control, depending on wiring |
| Body dimensions | 8 × 8 mm; overall height depends on the exact model |
| Number of pins | 6 |
| Contact configuration | Generally DPDT: two changeover contacts operated simultaneously |
| Mounting type | Through-hole, for PCB soldering |
| Actuation | Manual, by successive presses |
| Rated voltage and current | Must be confirmed using the exact model’s datasheet |
These specifications describe the general family of 8 × 8 mm, 6-pin self-locking push button switches. Additional dimensions and electrical ratings vary by manufacturer.
Technical precaution: the specifications “8 × 8 mm, 6 pins” alone do not establish the maximum operating voltage or current. Check the exact product reference before switching a power supply or load. Do not assume that this component is suitable for direct connection to 220–230 V mains electricity without explicit manufacturer specifications.
Subject to the switch’s electrical ratings, typical applications include:
Electronics and prototyping: adding maintained ON/OFF controls to experimental circuit boards.
Maintenance and repair: replacing a switch with matching dimensions, pin layout and electrical specifications.
Instrumentation: integration into small measuring devices and control boxes.
Practical training: teaching the wiring and operation of latching switches and double-pole changeover contacts.
Low-voltage LED lamp: keep the light ON or OFF without holding down the button, provided the current remains within the switch’s rating.
Electronic control box: select and maintain one of two operating modes.
Educational circuit: demonstrate how a DPDT switch controls two separate circuits simultaneously.
Small test device: add a maintained ON/OFF control after checking electrical compatibility.
