QTEATAK 120 Pcs 6 x 6mm x 5mm Momentary Tactile Tact Push Button Switch for PCB 4 Pin DIP Black

My Mister Coffee coffee maker used push buttons for all the functions. Three of the buttons stopped working so I decided to replace them with these Qteatak buttons. They were a perfect fit and replacement was easy. Used the coffee maker for several more years and never had any more issues with the buttons.

These are very small momentary switches designed for circuit board use. I will print operating buttons to go on top of each switch for my project but they worked perfect on my breadboard when I set up the prototype. The button on top is very small and I doubt it will hold up to external use on something like a game controller but mounted internally with a 3D printed external button the will be perfect.

I had a friend of mine bring me his Line 6 Helix LT because some of the foot switches would no longer activate. I pulled it apart and found that these small tactile foot switches were no longer making contact. Pulled the old ones off the PCB board and replaced them with these and am happy to say they work beautifully! They are a direct replacement. Footswitch function has been restored and works like new. Just make sure that you test each switch with a meter for continuity before you solder them in. I didn’t find one that was bad but you never know.

Very tactile button, and you get quite a few of them I've had them for a while and only have a few broke but you get your money's worth I used one for a controller and there for perfect size and fast shipping

Great value for the price it’s funny because all I needed was one switch

So many uses I always need a supply of these around.

For any user: the button is slightly taller than with most tactile switches, and has a very good click (at least when new). In my case: I bought them to replace the tired switches in my Line 6 POD HD500 (for the foot switches). The new ones are not exactly the same shape, vertically: the base is slightly slimmer, the button is slightly taller. But they fit well. No, my foot switches are very responsive and sensitive (but not overly sensitive). A great replacement!

To me the 6 x 6 x 5 mm values in the description are not what you really need to know. They are just the outside dimensions of the switch (5 is vertical). The pins fit nicely in holes spaced 6.6 mm by 4.6 mm (around 0.250 x 0.175"), one of the most common footprints for this type of switch. Note that these are not exact values, just what I read off from my PCB design software. Applying a micrometer to the pins I get 4.3 mm for the smaller dimension. A datasheet for a similar brand-name switch says 6.5 x 4.5 mm plus or minus 0.1. The legs flex, so there is room for error. I agree with those who say these aren't suited for breadboards, but that's not how I use them. I don't have a great way to measure force, but I'd guess these take at least 5 times as much force to operate compared to my last batch from a different vendor. It's still not much force, and certainly would not damage a circuit board or any reasonable way of mounting one. The click is quite audible - how much click is good is a matter of taste. I can't address reliability, but the first one works fine. Suggestion for sellers: just include the datasheet, and then we don't have to guess and write long-winded reviews!

Good micro-switches, exactly what was needed, cheap, and next-day delivery! What's not to like?

It can't just be me! the leads break off if bent more than twice or three times. Happened to many of the button in the batch. This was important for what they are intended to be used for!

Precisely as described, cheaper than same thing on the digikey
