Tact Switch 12x12 2pin For Electric

The Tact Switch 12x12 2‑pin is a compact, through‑hole pushbutton designed for electric appliances and consumer electronics. It delivers a crisp, tactile “click,” stable electrical performance, and long service life in a space‑saving 12 × 12 mm footprint. Multiple actuator heights and operating forces are available to match different panel designs and user feel requirements.
