6mm 2 Pin Panel PCB Momentary Tactile Tact Push Button Switch Through Hole Breadboard Friendly x 10 Pack

works well - soldered in place reinstalled board and the copier runs like new. Saved expense of having to buy a new used board for $85.00

These push-on then release through the hole switches are used in my breadboard solderless and permanent solder circuit boards.The adequate length pins ( two pins ) make the switches easy to use with solderless breadboards, as the switches do not slide up and cause the connections to the board to become open. I recomment these switches. They are well made, and the long length pins make the build much easier for me.

This buttons will fit on a typical solderless breadboard. However the pins are delicate and bend easily when inserting into the holes on the breadboard. Be sure to take your time and if there's difficulty try a different set of holes. Some breadboards are inconsistent in regards to how tight the holes are.Once placed on a breadboard the switches work well, I haven't had any issues with them. The buttons definitely have a good tactile feel.

These little button switches DO fit breadboards very well. They avoid the confusion of 4-lead switches, and have a nice tactile feel.I do note (quibble?) that the photo used to show that the switch fits into a standard breadboard shows the switch in a configuration where the two leads are shorted out (in the same row of the breadboard). So you might wish to correct these photos to show the correct positioning.

These work great! I use them on my Octoprint and Retropi setups.I don't solder them in. I just use JST crimps and heatshrink tubing. Great for shutting down your Pi safely and avoiding the risk of corrupting your filesystem by just pulling the power.

If you have a solder iron or a breadboard on your workbench, these are a must have! I cannot even count how many times I have been programming an Arduino or an RPi and in the code I put together a push button function for one of the pins. Then when the breadboard time comes, I have to find a pushbutton that will connect to that PIN and that is a pain. When I saw these on Amazon, my first thought was "why the heck aren't all tactiles like these?". You can just plug them in the breadboard and never wonder about the orientation (as you would with the typical tactile) and the best part is that you can just pull them off the breadboard and solder them to your prototyping PCB in no time. I am very excited to cut a corner when putting together what I am thinking of and not having to deal with push buttons with pgtails just to test a circuit.Now, to be honest, at 70 cents a piece the price is high for tactiles. But, I am willing to pay it for the ease of use and I have ordered more already.

It certainly does what it is supposed to do.I was actually hoping to use this as an on/off switch but these things require A LOT more pressure to press and hold down than I was anticipating. The initial pressure is not so bad, its the pressure to keep it compressed that makes the switch fail for my project.To get it to initially press down requires over 130 grams of pressure, to hold it down is about 90 grams of pressure. I was planning on using this in a much smaller weight scenario and turned out to not be at all what I needed.So if you are wondering: these are tiny stiff little on/off circuit buttons, yes they work but if you are wanting to use this in a scenario where objects less than 100 grams are used then you will need to find another type of switch.

Works as expected.The legs are plenty long enough for a breadboard, but are very thin gauge.You have to be careful to insert them straight into the breadboard.Also don't apply any side force when pressing the button because the thin legs don't provide much structural support.
