Push button switch (Tastschalter) for manual control of electronic circuits - Function Provides user input to activate a circuit when pressed. Depending on model, it may be momentary (returns to off after release) or latching (remains engaged until pressed again). - Compatibility Designed for integration with standard electronic assemblies. Fits common PCB footprints and panel cutouts. Check the specific model for exact footprint and mounting type. - Size and materials Available in compact sizes suitable for panels and PCBs. Material and dimensions vary by model; housing can be plastic or metal depending on the variant. Refer to the datasheet for exact values. - Performance Delivers reliable actuation with tactile feedback and repeatable operation. Contact resistance and electrical ratings differ by model; consult the product specifications for exact operating voltage and current. - Installation and maintenance Easy to install in panels or on PCBs using standard leads or terminals; no special tools required. Durability is influenced by model design and materials; replace with the correct variant if specs differ. - Use scenarios - Control panel for a consumer electronics device to power on or switch modes. - Start or reset button on a lab benchtop instrument or test rig. - User input switch in DIY electronics projects or educational kits.
