16A 250V Heavy-Duty Self-Locking Push Button Switch with LED Indicator – Latching On/Off Power Switch for Industrial Machinery, Home Appliances, and Control Panels

Product Description: The Self-Locking 6-Pin Push Button is a mechanical latching switch designed for power control and signal routing in electronic circuits. Unlike momentary tactile switches, this "Self-Locking" mechanism stays in the down (ON) position after the first press and only returns to the up (OFF) position when pressed a second time. With its DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) architecture, it can control two independent circuits simultaneously, making it a favourite at Robogears Pvt Ltd for building power toggles for battery-operated robots and hardware-level mode selectors.

Key Highlights

• Reliable Latching Mechanism: Provides a physical "Lock" that maintains the circuit state without requiring constant pressure, ideal for master power switches.

  
  

• Dual-Channel Control (DPDT): The 6-pin design allows you to switch two separate lines at once—for example, switching both the Positive and Negative rails or toggling two different LED indicators.

• Compact PCB Footprint: Designed for high-density boards, fitting perfectly into standard 2.54mm pitch layouts for easy prototyping and manufacturing.

• Clear Tactile Feedback: Offers a deep travel distance and a satisfying mechanical "click" to confirm that the switch has locked into position.

• Versatile Logic: Can be wired as a simple ON/OFF switch or a "Change-Over" switch to flip between two different circuit paths.
