Tactile Switch 4PIN 6x6x8 Red Iron

Tactile Switch 4PIN 6x6x8mm Red Iron — Momentary Push Button Switch for PCB & DIY Projects

The Tactile Switch 4PIN 6x6x8mm Red Iron is a compact, through-hole momentary push button switch designed for reliable and precise input in electronic circuits. With its distinctive red iron actuator and standard 6×6mm footprint at 8mm height, this tact switch is engineered for demanding prototyping, PCB assembly, and production-level applications across India.

Key Specifications

Features & Benefits

Strong Tactile Feedback — The red iron actuator delivers a crisp, audible click with every press, giving clear confirmation of actuation — essential for user-interface applications.

Standard 6×6mm PCB Footprint — Universally compatible with common PCB layouts, breadboards, and prototyping boards. Drop-in replacement for standard tact switches.

4-PIN Design for Stable Mounting — Four legs provide superior mechanical stability on PCB compared to 2-pin variants. Pins are internally bridged in pairs — pressing the button connects all four pins to complete the circuit.

Iron Actuator Head — The iron contact cap offers greater durability and resistance to repeated mechanical stress versus standard plastic caps, making it suited for high-cycle applications.

Normally Open (NO) Circuit — Pins remain disconnected at rest. Upon pressing, all 4 pins connect momentarily, making it ideal for trigger-based and input signal applications.

Compact 8mm Height — The 8mm stem height provides comfortable finger access even in dense PCB assemblies, panel mounts, or enclosure cutouts.
