Product Description

8x8mm SelfLocking Push Tactile Power Micro Switch 6Pin

Latching On/Off DPDT Switch for PCB Projects

The 8x8mm SelfLocking Push Tactile Power Micro Switch is a compact 6pin latching switch designed for reliable on/off power control in electronic devices [citation:10]. Unlike momentary switches that only stay active while held, this switch mechanically locks into position - press once to latch ON, press again to release OFF [citation:2]. It is ideal for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other microcontroller projects requiring stable, latching control.

Features selflocking (latching) mechanism press once to lock ON, press again to release OFF
6-pin DPDT configuration provides dual switching capability for two independent circuits
Maximum rating: DC30V 0.1A - verify load requirements before use [citation:2][citation:4]

= Key Features =

SelfLocking Latching Mechanism Maintains ON/OFF state without continuous pressure. Press once to latch ON, press again to release OFF [citation:2].

DPDT Switching Capability 6pin configuration allows control of two independent circuits with a single button [citation:2].

Compact 8x8mm Size Spacesaving footprint ideal for PCBs and compact electronic designs [citation:1].

ThroughHole Mounting Standard DIP pins for secure PCB soldering and breadboard compatibility [citation:8].

Reliable Construction - Metal contact and durable housing designed for 10,000 operational cycles [citation:2][citation:4].

= Applications =

  • Power on/off control for electronic devices [citation:3]
  • Microcontroller projects (Arduino, Raspberry Pi, AVR) [citation:6]
  • PCB-mounted power switches
  • Consumer electronics and household appliances [citation:1]
  • Industrial control panels and dashboards [citation:6]
  • DIY electronics and prototyping [citation:6]

Pin Configuration

The 6 pins are arranged in two rows of three, corresponding to two independent switches [citation:2]:

Switch 1Switch 2
Pin 1Pin 4
Pin 2 (Common)Pin 5 (Common)
Pin 3Pin 6

> Pin 2 and Pin 5 are the common terminals for each switch

When latched ON, common connects to one side; when OFF, it connects to the other
Use a multimeter to verify pin orientation before soldering [citation:2]

How It Works

  1. *Initial State (OFF)* - Switch is in default, open position
  2. *Press Once* - Switch latches ON, locking the circuit closed
  3. *Press Again* - Switch releases and returns to OFF position
The latching mechanism means the switch physically changes state and stays there until pressed again [citation:2]
This makes it perfect for power buttons that need to stay ON after being pressed

Why Choose This Switch?

Self-locking design remembers your last setting
DPDT switching handles two independent circuits [citation:2]
Compact 8x8mm size for tight spaces [citation:1]
Through-hole pins for easy PCB mounting [citation:8]
Durable construction rated for 10,000 cycles [citation:2][citation:4]
Versatile for power control and signal switching

√ Works with 3.3V and 5V logic circuits

√ Simple on/off control for projects

√ Fits standard DIP sockets

√ Reliable latching mechanism

√ Replaces older momentary switches

Safety Precautions

Maximum rating: DC30V 0.1A - do not exceed [citation:2][citation:4]
Do not exceed operating temperature range [citation:4]
Ensure correct pin orientation when soldering
Protect from moisture and dust
Verify load current before application
For high-current applications, use the switch to control a relay
The 6-pin design allows for SPDT or DPDT configuration depending on wiring

The 8x8mm SelfLocking Push Switch provides reliable latching control in a compact, easyto-install package. Perfect for power buttons, mode selection, and on/off control in microcontroller projects and electronic devices [citation:3][citation:6].
