Enhance your PCB design with the high-reliability 8.5×8.5mm Self-Lock Push Switch manufactured by Pran Electronics Pvt. Ltd. Known for precision engineering and durable performance, this DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) switch is a staple in consumer electronics, industrial controls, and instrumentation.
The “Self-Lock” (Latching) mechanism ensures that the switch remains in the ‘ON’ position after being pressed and only returns to the ‘OFF’ position upon a second press—making it ideal for power toggling and mode selection.
