Tactile Button - SMD (12mm)

This is an SMD 12mm square SPST button. What we really like is the large button head and good tactile feel (it ‘clicks’ really well). This button is great for user input or a good reset button on a PCB, heck, we use this guy on our PicoBoard! As this is an SMD component make sure you are well versed in soldering before attempting to incorporate this button into your project.
