Set of 25 Tactile Push Button Switches 12x12mm 7.3mm 4pins
The Kuongshun AE090 is a set of 25 tactile push button switches in the popular 12×12mm footprint with 7.3mm actuator height and a 4-pin through-hole configuration. Tactile switches are the go-to momentary input component for any electronic project: when idle the circuit is normally open, and pressing the button briefly closes the contact — giving microcontrollers like Arduino or ESP32 a clean, debounce-friendly signal. The kit also ships with 25 color-coded caps (5 colors, 5 pcs each) and a re-sealable plastic storage case, making it a complete starter pack for makers, students, and engineers alike.
Key Features
- Momentary normally-open action: Pins open at rest, closed only while pressed → safe, predictable digital input
- 12×12mm standard footprint: Fits virtually any universal PCB or prototype board → drop-in compatible with most layouts
- 7.3mm actuator height: Comfortable tactile travel above the PCB surface → easy to press, even in enclosures
- 4-pin through-hole: Dual redundant contacts on each side → mechanically stable and reliable soldering
- 25 color-coded caps included: 5 colors × 5 pcs → instant visual differentiation of button functions
- High-precision mechanism: Long service life micro push-button design → consistent actuation force over many cycles
- Re-sealable storage case: Rugged plastic case keeps components organized → no lost parts on the workbench
Pinout & Wiring
| Pin Pair | Symbol | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 – 2 (left side) | A | Internally connected pair — one side of the switch contact |
| 3 – 4 (right side) | B | Internally connected pair — other side of the switch contact |
Wiring note: Connect one pin from side A to your microcontroller GPIO (with an internal or external pull-up resistor) and one pin from side B to GND. The remaining pins on each side are electrically identical and can be left unconnected or used for mechanical stability on the PCB.
Typical Applications
- Arduino / ESP32 input buttons: Add physical user input to your microcontroller project — menu navigation, reset triggers, mode selection
- DIY keyboard & button pads: Build custom macro pads, game controllers, or instrument panels with color-coded caps for instant identification
- Remote controls & household appliances: Replace or prototype control panels for home electronics
- Educational & lab prototyping: Perfect for breadboard experiments and soldering practice — a staple component in every electronics lab
- Robotics & wearables: Compact 12×12mm size fits tight enclosures; caps protect the actuator from accidental presses

FAQ
Q: Do I need external resistors to use these with Arduino?
A: Yes — connect the switch between GPIO and GND, and enable the Arduino's internal pull-up resistor (pinMode(pin, INPUT_PULLUP)). This ensures a clean HIGH/LOW reading without floating pins.
Q: Are the caps compatible with other 12×12mm tactile switches?
A: The included caps are designed for the 12×12mm actuator size. They will fit any tactile switch with the same footprint and a compatible actuator stem diameter.
⚠ Note: These are through-hole components designed for PCB or breadboard use. Ensure your board's hole pitch matches the 12×12mm footprint before ordering.
