2 Pin Momentary Switch

A 2-pin button switch is a type of electronic switch which is designed to allow electrical current to flow through when it is pressed, and disable the flow of current when it is released. It is a type of on/off switch. This type of switch is commonly used in electronic devices such as remote controls, calculators, and digital clocks.

The 2-pin button switch is also known as a momentary switch, as it only allows electrical current to flow for a very brief period of time. The switch has two metal pins, which are used to connect it to a circuit board. The pins are spaced apart by a distance of 2.54mm, which is the standard spacing used for most electronic components.

The switch is a mechanical device that uses a spring-loaded mechanism to control the flow of current. When the switch is pressed, the spring is compressed, allowing the electrical contacts to close and the current to flow. When the button is released, the spring returns to its original position, opening the electrical contacts and cutting off the flow of current.

The 2-pin button switch comes in various forms and designs. One of the most common designs is the surface mount button switch which is a version that is designed to be mounted directly onto the surface of the circuit board. It is a compact and low profile switch that is used in small electronic devices where space is limited.
