Are you looking for a reliable and durable switch to complete your next project? Then look no further than the 12mm Tactile Switch with Cap! This handy switch is perfect for hobbyists looking to build their own unique projects.
Tactile Switches or tact switches are on/off electronic switch that is only on when there is some pressure put on them or when the button is pressed. As soon as the tactile switch button is released and the pressure has been taken off, the circuit is then broken. Tact switches work with user interaction with the button or switch when it makes contact with the control panel beneath, in most cases this is usually a printed circuit board (PCB)
