In summary, Dave explains how the 4 pin Tactile-Micro can be used as an on-off switch. He mentions that it is commonly used in electronic devices such as TVs and DVD players, but notes that it may suffer from switch bounce. He also offers a solution to prevent this issue.

OK there are ways to use this style of switch to be able to switch a circuit on and off
here's one example ...
this process is common in so much gear these days ... TV's VCR's DVD players etc etc
you will understand that that portion of the circuit will always have power on it
cheers

no probs
if you do build this to experiment, you may find it suffers a little from switch bounce
that is a pulse produced when contacts make and another when they break. This will cause
double triggering in the flipflop IC
there is a small mod that can be done to stop that

FAQ: Can 4 Pin Tactile-Micro be Used as On-Off Switch?
1. Can a 4 Pin Tactile-Micro be used as an on-off switch?
Yes, a 4 Pin Tactile-Micro can be used as an on-off switch. The four pins provide the necessary connections for the switch to function.
2. How do I wire a 4 Pin Tactile-Micro as an on-off switch?
To wire a 4 Pin Tactile-Micro as an on-off switch, connect the positive lead of your power source to one of the pins, and the negative lead to another pin. When the switch is pressed, the connection between these two pins will be made and the circuit will be complete.
3. What is the maximum voltage and current that a 4 Pin Tactile-Micro can handle?
The maximum voltage and current that a 4 Pin Tactile-Micro can handle depends on the specific model and manufacturer. It is important to check the specifications of the switch before use to ensure it can handle the desired voltage and current.
4. Can a 4 Pin Tactile-Micro be used in both AC and DC circuits?
Yes, a 4 Pin Tactile-Micro can be used in both AC and DC circuits. However, again it is important to check the specifications to ensure it is suitable for the specific circuit you are using it in.
5. Are there any safety precautions I should take when using a 4 Pin Tactile-Micro as an on-off switch?
Yes, when using a 4 Pin Tactile-Micro as an on-off switch, it is important to follow standard electrical safety precautions. This includes ensuring the switch is properly wired and the correct voltage and current are used, and avoiding touching any live wires or components while the circuit is powered on.
