Detailed Product Description:

The 2-Pin DIP Tactile Push Button Switch is a fundamental component for any electronics project, providing a simple yet reliable way to add user input. Its straightforward, two-pin design and small footprint make it an ideal choice for both breadboard prototyping and permanent PCB-mounted applications. The "DIP" (Dual In-line Package) form factor ensures easy integration, allowing the switch to be inserted directly into a breadboard for quick testing or soldered onto a circuit board for a more permanent solution.

This switch operates as a momentary push-to-on device, meaning it forms an electrical connection only for as long as it is pressed, and returns to its default open state when released. This Normally Open (NO) configuration is essential for triggering events such as a reset signal, an input for a microcontroller like Arduino, or a simple ON/OFF control for temporary functions. The tactile feedback, a satisfying "click," provides a clear indication to the user that the button has been successfully pressed.

Designed for low-power applications, the switch typically has a low operating voltage, often around 12V DC, and a low current rating of about 50mA. This makes it perfect for sending logic-level signals to a digital circuit rather than directly controlling a power-hungry device. Whether you're building a custom keyboard, a reset button for a sensor project, or a control panel for a robot, the 2-pin tactile switch is a dependable and cost-effective component that delivers consistent performance and a great user experience.

The 2-Pin DIP Tactile Push Button Switch is a momentary switch that provides reliable tactile feedback when pressed. This component is widely used for manual input or control triggers in microcontroller-based projects, including Arduino and embedded systems.

It fits perfectly on standard breadboards and PCBs, making it ideal for prototyping, DIY circuits, and electronic learning kits. The push-to-make functionality (closes the circuit only when pressed) is perfect for reset switches, user inputs, and trigger controls.

Key Features:

• 2-pin DIP mount push button switch

• Momentary ON operation (press = ON, release = OFF)

• Compact square design for breadboard-friendly layout

• Compatible with Arduino, ESP32, STM32, Raspberry Pi

Technical Specifications:

How to Use:

1. Insert the 2-pin switch into a breadboard or PCB.

2. Connect one pin to a digital input pin of a microcontroller.

3. Connect the other to GND (use a pull-up resistor if needed).

4. Use code to detect when the button is pressed (LOW signal if pull-up is active).
