Push Switch-PS-68

Description

The PS-68 Push Switch is a highly reliable, compact 6-pin push-button switch designed for a wide variety of electronics prototyping and commercial applications. Featuring a standard DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) configuration, this switch allows you to control two separate circuits simultaneously with a single press.

Its standard pin spacing makes it completely breadboard-friendly, making it an absolute must-have component for students, hobbyists, and engineers working on Arduino, ESP32, and general logic design projects.

Key Features:

• DPDT Configuration: Controls two independent circuits at once, perfect for routing power and ground simultaneously.

• Breadboard & PCB Friendly: Standard pin spacing allows it to snap securely into solderless breadboards or be easily soldered onto custom printed circuit boards.

• Tactile Feedback: Provides a satisfying, noticeable “click” when pressed so users know the state of the switch has changed.

• Durable Build: Rated for thousands of actuation cycles, ensuring a long lifespan for everyday lab use and DIY projects.

Technical Specifications:

• Switch Type: Push Button (Available in Latching/Self-Locking or Momentary configurations)

• Contact Type: DPDT (6 Pins)

• Dimensions: ~ 8.5mm x 8.5mm (Standard Square Body)

• Operating Voltage: Up to 50V DC

• Current Rating: 0.5A

• Mounting Style: Through-Hole (DIP)

Common Applications / Lab Use:

• Main Power Switch: Excellent for turning battery packs or 5V power supplies ON and OFF on a breadboard.

• Signal Routing: Switch logic signals between two different input pathways in digital logic circuits.

• Microcontroller Projects: Perfect for triggering interrupts or serving as a physical input button for Arduino and ESP32 projects.

• Audio/Video: Can be used to switch between two distinct audio or data channels.
