XL-10AL XL-10AH Bistable Touch Switch Module 10A Low Power
XL-10AL / XL-10AH Low Power Bistable Touch Switch Module
Upgrade your electronics toolkit with this ultra-low-power bistable touch switch module. Available in two variants — the XL-10AL (3.5V–5.4V) and XL-10AH (4.5V–26V) — these compact modules replace traditional mechanical self-locking switches with a simple, light touch. Tap once to turn on; tap again to turn off. It's that easy.
Designed for makers, hobbyists, and electronics enthusiasts, these modules are ideal for DIY projects, custom power control circuits, automation builds, and more. Built from a durable plastic and metal construction, they are engineered to last through countless switching cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the XL-10AL / XL-10AH bistable touch switch module used for?
A: The XL-10AL and XL-10AH are low-power bistable touch switch modules designed to replace traditional mechanical self-locking switches in electronic circuits. A single light touch of the button toggles the circuit ON or OFF, making them perfect for DIY electronics, battery-powered devices, and custom power control projects.
Q: What is the difference between the XL-10AL and XL-10AH models?
A: The main difference is the operating voltage range. The XL-10AL is designed for lower voltages (3.5V–5.4V), making it ideal for 3.3V and 5V logic circuits. The XL-10AH supports a wider range (4.5V–26V), making it suitable for higher-voltage applications up to 26V. Both support a maximum load current of 10A.
Q: Why is the off-state power consumption so important?
A: In battery-powered applications, standby current draw directly affects battery life. With only 300nA (XL-10AL) or 1.3µA (XL-10AH) consumed when the circuit is off, these modules are exceptionally efficient — extending battery life significantly compared to standard mechanical or relay-based switches.
Q: What materials is this module made from?
A: The module is constructed from a combination of plastic and metal, providing a balance of lightweight durability and reliable electrical connectivity.
