Description
The KFC 5.8×5.8mm Self-Locking Push Button Switch (Short Head) is a compact PCB-mount tactile switch designed for reliable latching (push-on/push-off) operation in electronic circuits and control systems. Its self-locking mechanism allows the switch to remain in its current state until pressed again, making it suitable for power control, function selection, and mode switching applications.
Featuring a compact 5.8 × 5.8 mm footprint and short actuator design, this switch is ideal for installations where PCB space is limited. It provides low contact resistance, high insulation resistance, and a mechanical life of up to 100,000 operating cycles, ensuring dependable long-term performance.
Manufactured for durability and stable operation, the KFC series switch is widely used in consumer electronics, industrial control equipment, DIY electronics, embedded systems, instrumentation, and electronic prototypes.
Note: Product appearance, actuator color, or manufacturer markings may vary slightly depending on the production batch while maintaining identical electrical specifications and functionality.
