Tactile Switch 12x12x5mm 4 Pin Push Button

Add reliable manual input control to your electronics project with this Tactile Switch, a compact 12x12x5mm momentary push button widely used in DIY builds, prototyping boards, and custom PCB designs. Featuring 4 through-hole pins, this switch connects across two pairs of internally shorted leads, giving you a simple, breadboard and PCB-friendly way to add a physical button to any circuit.

This switch delivers a satisfying tactile click when pressed, providing clear physical feedback confirming the button has actuated, which is especially useful when building interfaces that need positive, unambiguous input confirmation. Its low actuation force means light finger pressure is enough to trigger it, while internal contacts are rated for a long mechanical life across repeated presses. The compact, low-profile design fits into tight enclosures and standard 0.1″ pitch breadboards without requiring extra clearance.

This tactile switch is a fundamental component for hobbyists and makers building Arduino projects, reset buttons, menu navigation controls, DIY keypads, and countless other interactive electronics projects. Its small size and standardized footprint make it easy to source matching caps and enclosures, and it remains one of the most commonly stocked switch types across the maker community due to its versatility and low cost.
