6-Pin Momentary PCB Push Button Switch

6-pin momentary push button for PCB controls

This six-pin push button is listed as a momentary switch for PCB-mounted electronics controls. Its actuator returns after release, making it an option for suitable user-input circuits where a non-latching mechanical action is required.

Possible uses include prototype buttons, repair work and control inputs in hobby projects. Match the component to the circuit and board footprint rather than assuming all six-pin switches are interchangeable.

Check the footprint and contact arrangement

• Pin count: six.
• Action: momentary.
• Mounting: PCB format described.
• Footprint: confirm pin spacing and overall dimensions.
• Contacts: confirm the actual internal arrangement and resting state.

Wire the actual switch, not a generic diagram

Six pins do not establish whether a part is normally open, normally closed, multi-pole or fitted with duplicated terminals. Check the supplier pinout or measure continuity on the unpowered switch in both resting and pressed states before connecting it.

For a microcontroller input, use appropriate pull-up or pull-down arrangements and software or hardware debouncing where needed. A momentary switch can bounce during operation; it does not automatically generate one clean digital event per press.

The contact voltage and current rating are not specified here. Do not assume suitability for mains voltage, motors or other high-current loads. Confirm the relevant rating and use a suitable driver or switching arrangement when the load requires one.

Check actuator height and enclosure access as well as PCB spacing when replacing an existing button. Browse switches and pads at EPRO for other formats.

Frequently asked questions

Does it stay latched after a press?

The listing describes momentary, not latching, action.

Can I use a four-pin switch wiring diagram?

Do not assume it applies. Verify the exact six-pin contact arrangement.

Will it fit my existing PCB?

Compare the actual footprint, pin spacing and actuator dimensions first.
