Bistable Switch Module 2A DC 2–5V 0.5µA Low Power One-Key
Bistable Switch Module 2A DC 2–5V 0.5µA Low Power One-Key
Bistable Switch Module — Compact, Low-Power, One-Key Control
Looking for a reliable, ultra-low-power switching solution for your electronics project? This Bistable Switch Module delivers stable on/off control with a continuous load rating of 2A and an operating voltage range of DC 2–5V. With a standby current of just 0.5µA, it's engineered for energy-conscious designs where every microamp counts — ideal for battery-powered circuits, IoT devices, and DIY automation projects.
A single key press toggles the output and it stays in that state without requiring continuous power — that's the bistable advantage. Whether you're building a smart home gadget, a custom control panel, or an embedded electronics prototype, this module keeps things simple and efficient.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does "bistable" mean for this switch module?
A: A bistable switch module has two stable states — ON and OFF. Once triggered by a single key press, it latches in that state and holds it without requiring any continuous signal or power. This makes it ideal for battery-powered and low-power electronics applications.
Q: What voltage and current does this bistable switch module support?
A: This module operates on DC 2–5V, making it compatible with most microcontrollers, Arduino boards, and 3.3V/5V logic systems. It supports a continuous load of up to 2A, suitable for driving small motors, LEDs, relays, or other low-power loads.
Q: How small is this switch module, and will it fit in my project enclosure?
A: The module measures just 1.6 × 1.5 × 0.3 cm (approximately 0.62 × 0.59 × 0.11 inches), making it one of the most compact bistable switch solutions available. Its slim profile fits easily into tight enclosures, custom PCB layouts, and miniature DIY builds.
Q: How many modules come in the pack?
A: This product is available in packs of 1 or 2 modules. Select your preferred quantity at checkout to suit your project requirements.
