Core Skill: Soldering

This skill defines how difficult the soldering is on a particular product. It might be a couple simple solder joints, or require special reflow tools.

1 Soldering

Skill Level: Noob - Some basic soldering is required, but it is limited to a just a few pins, basic through-hole soldering, and couple (if any) polarized components. A basic soldering iron is all you should need.

Core Skill: Electrical Prototyping

If it requires power, you need to know how much, what all the pins do, and how to hook it up. You may need to reference datasheets, schematics, and know the ins and outs of electronics.

1 Electrical Prototyping

Skill Level: Noob - You don't need to reference a datasheet, but you will need to know basic power requirements.

    I want to put this switch on a lamp. With this switch work for that?

    With a bit of filing, this fits nicely in the area reserved for the ethernet port in the PRT-10088 Arduino Project Enclosure.

    125 V?? Don't you ever think about all those poor engineers in Europe?

    Nice switch, but REALLY hard to solder to.

  • NukeFrenzy / about 14 years ago / 1

    The datasheet under the images for this product is for a different button. If you want to mount this vertically using the Sparkfun footprint, you end up having to cut off the right-angled posts and trim what's left to make it thinner to fit in the holes. Either an updated datasheet or updated footprint would be greatly appreciated.

    Where is this located in the library.

      It's a bit buried in eagle - and the footprint we created was for the KinetaMap, so it's a vertical orientation (not pretty but it works):
      "SWITCH-SPST-2" is the name of the device. "SWITCH-SPST-VERTICAL" is the name of the package type.
