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.
Electrical Specifications
- Contact Style: Normally Open (NO) — momentary closure when pressed
- Terminals: 4-pin (2 pairs of internally connected pins)
- Tested Ratings: Up to 1A @ 32V DC (contact resistance <0.01Ω after testing)
- Action: Snap-action with audible click
- Cap Color: Green (snap-on, replaceable)
- Body Dimensions: 12 × 12 × 7.3mm (without cap)
- Total Height with Cap: 12mm
- Lead Spacing: 5.08mm × 12.7mm (0.2" × 0.5") — breadboard compatible
- Pack Quantity: 5 switches
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
