Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does DPDT mean and how does this 6-pin push button switch work?
A: DPDT stands for Double Pole Double Throw. This 6-pin mini push button switch can control two separate circuits simultaneously, making it ideal for toggling power, reversing motor direction, or switching between two signal paths. The self-locking feature means the switch stays in its pressed state until pressed again — no need to hold it.
Q: What projects are these 7×7×12mm DPDT mini push button switches suitable for?
A: These compact self-locking switches are well-suited for multimeters, DIY electronics and hobbyist circuit boards, robotics, LED control panels, craft electronics projects, and any application requiring a reliable, small-footprint momentary-latch switch.
Q: Are these switches easy to solder onto a PCB?
A: Yes. The 6-pin through-hole design makes them straightforward to solder onto standard PCBs. The high-temperature-resistant plastic housing also withstands typical soldering temperatures without deforming or losing function.
