Tactile 4 Pin Push Button

SENSING PRINCIPLE: Functions as a momentary manual input device that closes an electrical circuit when pressed, providing a digital signal for user interaction or control.
PIN CONFIGURATION: 4 pins for stable connections; normally open (NO) operation.
ELECTRODE CONNECTION: Connects to two points in a circuit (e.g., microcontroller input and GND) to register a press; additional pins provide mechanical stability.
OUTPUT SIGNAL: Provides a digital HIGH/LOW signal corresponding to button release or press when used with pull-up/pull-down configuration.
OPERATING VOLTAGE: Rated for up to 12 V DC.
SIGNAL CONDITIONING: Not required; mechanical contact directly drives the digital input.
OPERATING TEMPERATURE: −30°C to +70°C for reliable performance in various conditions.
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS: Push button size 12 × 12 × 10 mm (L × W × H); plastic body; brass contacts; 4-pin configuration for PCB or breadboard mounting.
APPLICATION SCOPE: Ideal for consumer electronics, medical devices, computers, testing instruments, DIY projects, and prototyping where tactile user input is needed.
