Customer Reviews
These switches work great, but be advised, they are MOMENTARY, normally open switches, so they are not the "click once for on, click again for off" kind of switch. This product should be described accordingly on the product page. If you need momentary switches, these are for you. If you need the other kind, look elsewhere.
-----UPDATE, 2/17/2012-----
I thought I ought to clarify my review, to help people better understand my comments.
There are two types of "tact" (momentary push-button) switches: locking and non-locking.
The locking kind of switch gives a user the distinctive "double click" when pressed, like the push-button switch on a traditional Maglite flashlight. The switch is momentary, but locks in the "on" position, giving the user a closed circuit that stays closed until s/he pushes the button again.
The NON-locking kind of tact switch, as the name implies, does not lock in the "on" or "closed" position, so power will only flow as long as the user presses and holds the button down.
These Microtivity switches are NON-locking tact switches, but nowhere in the description does it say that. Further, other reviewer comments may lead folks to believe these are the locking kind, when they are not. Thus, you have my review.
On another note, I find these switches do not stay well-seated in the microtivity breadboards I ordered, especially after having moved the switches around a few times. I recommend you double check your layout prior to seating your switches to avoid this problem.
Good luck on your projects, and happy prototyping!
Just the right size for the smaller projects and the tactile feedback lets you know that the switch is working.
