Push Button Locking Switch, Micro Square Tact Switch, 2pcs/lot 8.5x8.5mm

Get precise, reliable, and space-saving control** with this pair of high-quality Micro Square Tactile Switches featuring a convenient **locking mechanism**. Designed for compact electronics and demanding applications.

Locking Action (Push-On/Push-Off):** Unlike standard momentary tactile switches, this switch **locks into position** when pressed once, and releases when pressed again. Perfect for applications requiring a stable "on" or "off" state without holding the button.

*   **Ultra-Compact Micro Square Design:** Measures just **8.5mm x 8.5mm** (standard footprint), making it ideal for space-constrained PCBs and miniature devices.

*   **High-Quality Construction:** Features a durable **PA66 (Nylon 6,6) housing** for excellent mechanical strength and temperature resistance. Equipped with a smooth-operating **metal plunger** for positive tactile feedback and a satisfying, audible click.

*   **Reliable Electrical Performance:** Rated for **12VDC** and **50mA** current. Silver contacts ensure low contact resistance and reliable switching.

*   **Long Operational Life:** Engineered for durability, rated for **100,000 cycles** minimum, ensuring long-term performance.

*   **Standard Solder Terminals:** Features **6 solder lug terminals** (3 on each side) for easy and secure PCB mounting. Compatible with standard reflow or hand soldering processes.

*   **Tactile Feel:** Requires an operating force of **approximately 260gf (±50gf)**, providing a distinct, positive actuation feel.

*   **Robust Design:** Operating temperature range of **-25°C to +85°C**.

*   **Convenient Packaging:** Supplied as **2 pieces per lot**, perfect for prototyping, repairs, or small production runs.

**Ideal Applications:**

*   Power On/Off Controls (Locking)

*   Mode Selection Switches (e.g., High/Low, Continuous/Intermittent)

*   Compact Consumer Electronics

*   Industrial Control Panels

*   Instrumentation & Measurement Devices

*   Security Systems

*   DIY Electronics Projects & Prototyping

*   Any application requiring a small, reliable latching switch.

*   **Space-Efficient:** The micro size maximizes PCB space.

*   **Secure Latching:** Maintains state without continuous pressure.

*   **Dependable:** Built to last with high cycle life and robust materials.

*   **Easy Integration:** Standard footprint and solder terminals.

*   **Cost-Effective:** Value pack of 2 switches.
