3 Pin Vertical Mini Latching Tactile ON-ON-OFF Push Button Switch

Product Description The 3-Pin Vertical Mini Latching Switch is a compact, space-saving power controller designed for Printed Circuit Board (PCB) integration. Unlike standard 2-pin momentary switches, this model features a Self-Locking mechanism; the button stays depressed when pushed (ON) and releases only when pushed again (OFF). Its 3-pin configuration allows it to function as a Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) switch, giving you the ability to toggle between two different output paths. This is a highly sought-after component at Robogears Pvt Ltd for building master power toggles in handheld testing devices, small robotics controllers, and battery-operated gadgets.

Key Highlights

• Latching Power Control: Provides a permanent ON state without requiring continuous user pressure, making it ideal for devices that need to stay powered for long durations.

• SPDT Logic: The 3-pin layout (Common, Normally Open, and Normally Closed) provides maximum flexibility for circuit design, allowing you to switch power between two different LEDs or circuit modes.

• Compact Vertical Mount: The upright design minimizes the footprint on the PCB, allowing for higher component density in miniaturized electronic enclosures.

• Crisp Mechanical Action: Delivers a satisfying tactile and audible click, providing the user with positive confirmation of the switch state change.

• Low Contact Resistance: High-quality internal contacts ensure minimal voltage drop, which is critical for maintaining battery efficiency in portable projects.
