Operating on a momentary SPST-NO (Single Pole Single Throw - Normally Open) mechanism, this tact switch provides a crisp, tactile click when pressed and immediately breaks the circuit when released.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable at Tomson Electronics, this 4-pin switch features an extended actuator height of 9.5mm. This taller profile makes it exceptionally useful when you need the button to protrude through a thicker custom enclosure, front panel, or when you plan to attach custom plastic keycaps. Designed for standard through-hole PCB mounting, it also fits perfectly across the center trench of a standard prototyping breadboard, making it a reliable choice for logic triggering and reset circuits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlso searched as:\u003c\/strong\u003e tact switch 6x6x9.5, long stem push button, momentary micro switch, tall pcb tactile button, arduino reset button, breadboard push switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwitch Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tactile Push Button \/ Micro Switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwitching Action:\u003c\/strong\u003e Momentary \/ SPST-NO (Normally Open)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6mm × 6mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActuator Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.5mm (Measured from the bottom of the base to the top of the button)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePin Count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 Pins (Internally connected in pairs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Through-hole (DIP) \/ Breadboard compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50mA at 12V DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContact Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e ≤ 50mΩ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Force:\u003c\/strong\u003e Typically 160g to 250g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eCommon Applications\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCustom Enclosures:\u003c\/strong\u003e The extended 9.5mm stem allows the button to easily reach through thick 3D printed or acrylic front panels without needing extension pegs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElectronics Prototyping:\u003c\/strong\u003e Acting as input triggers or reset buttons on breadboards alongside Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi circuits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppliance Repair:\u003c\/strong\u003e Replacing worn-out long-stem tact switches on monitor bezels, audio equipment, and control boards.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUser Interfaces:\u003c\/strong\u003e Building custom matrix keypads and control panels where custom tactile caps are required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Why does it have 4 pins if it's a single switch?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: The pins are internally connected in pairs (typically, the pins on the same long side are linked). This design provides mechanical stability when soldered to a PCB. To ensure you are bridging the open contacts when wiring, it is best practice to connect your circuit diagonally across the switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Do I need a pull-up or pull-down resistor with this switch?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Yes. When connecting this tactile switch to a microcontroller logic pin, you must use a pull-up or pull-down resistor (or enable the microcontroller's internal pull-up feature). This prevents the input pin from floating and generating false, erratic readings when the button is not being pressed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Will this fit in a standard breadboard?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Yes. The pin spacing is strictly standard and designed to perfectly straddle the center dividing trench of a 0.1-inch pitch breadboard without shorting out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003ePackage Includes\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTactile Push Button Micro Switch 6x6x9.5mm (Quantity as selected)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TOMSON ELECTRONICS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32338657574960,"sku":"SWT-03567","price":3.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2132\/9029\/products\/6X6X9.5.jpg?v=1788180451","url":"https:\/\/www.tomsonelectronics.com\/products\/6mm-x-6mm-x-9-5mm-micro-switch","provider":"Tomson Electronics ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
