Product Description: Precision Tactile Push Button Switch

This SPST (Single Pole, Single Throw) push button switch delivers reliable ON-OFF control in a compact 12x12mm industry-standard footprint. Designed for through-hole vertical mounting, it stands 8.6mm off the PCB, providing an ideal actuator height for integration into handheld devices, most notably flashlights.

Engineered for versatility, the switch is available in both Momentary (active only while pressed) and Latching (push for ON, push again for OFF) configurations. This allows designers to tailor the user interface for either tactical signaling or constant illumination modes.

The switch requires a 750gf operation force, offering a firm, positive tactile feedback that prevents accidental activation—critical for rugged environments. It features a robust contact rating of DC50V 0.5A, suitable for driving LED modules and low-power circuits common in portable lighting.

Whether used as a tail-cap clicky for a high-performance flashlight or a panel control for industrial equipment, this push button guarantees long-term durability and consistent performance. Its high actuation force combined with a low 8.6mm profile ensures a solid feel without compromising internal space, making it the definitive choice for engineers seeking reliability in a compact, vertical switch.
