User Guide / How to Use

Using the 2-PIN push button switch is straightforward:

1. Identify the two pins of the switch. These act as the input and output terminals.
2. Insert the switch into a breadboard or solder it onto a PCB.
3. Connect one terminal to a power source (e.g., 5V or 12V) and the other to the circuit requiring switching control.
4. Press the button to complete the circuit, allowing current flow. Releasing it will break the connection.
5. Use a resistor (e.g., 10KΩ pull-down resistor) if needed to prevent floating signals in microcontroller applications.
