Tactile Momentary Pushbutton Switch Green Cap 12mm — 4-Pin Breadboard (5-Pack)

Tactile Momentary Pushbutton Switch — Green Cap, 12mm, 4-Pin Breadboard (5-Pack)

These 12mm tactile momentary pushbutton switches with green snap-on caps are the standard pushbutton for Arduino prototyping and electronics education. The 4-pin through-hole design fits directly into a solderless breadboard on standard 0.1" spacing, the snap-action mechanism provides a satisfying audible click for positive tactile feedback, and the green cap is the universal convention for GO, OK, or confirm actions. Pack of 5 — enough for a full project with spares.

4-Pin Layout — How It Works

• Pins 1 & 2 (one side): internally connected
• Pins 3 & 4 (other side): internally connected
• Press button: all 4 pins connected
• Connect one side to Arduino digital input (INPUT_PULLUP), other side to GND

Typical Applications

• GO / Start / Confirm button: Green color convention for positive or start actions
• Arduino input button: Standard pushbutton for Arduino tutorials and projects
• Multi-button panels: Color-coded button arrays for game controllers and HMI panels
• OK / Select button: Confirmation input for LCD menu systems
• Interrupt trigger: Hardware interrupt source for event-driven programs
