• Right-Angle Through-Hole Mounting
• Momentary Push Button Operation
• Perfect for Edge or Panel Access
• Strong Mechanical Stability
The Side Push Tactile Switch 6×2×9.5mm (SW-23) is a right-angle (horizontal) tactile switch designed for applications where the button needs to be pressed from the side rather than the top.
Featuring a long 9.5mm actuator, this switch is ideal for edge-mounted PCBs, side panel controls, and compact enclosures where traditional vertical switches cannot be used.
Its 6×2mm compact footprint allows easy integration into space-constrained circuit designs, while the side push mechanism enables seamless alignment with external buttons or casing cutouts.
This is a momentary switch, meaning it only activates when pressed and returns automatically, making it perfect for control inputs, reset buttons, menu navigation, and embedded systems.
The through-hole mounting with extended pins provides secure PCB attachment, ensuring durability in both consumer and industrial applications.

Q1: What is a side push tactile switch?
It is a switch that is pressed from the side (horizontal direction) instead of from the top.
Q2: Where is this switch commonly used?
It is used in edge-mounted designs and side-access control panels.
Q3: Is this switch momentary or locking?
It is a momentary switch, active only while pressed.
Q4: What is the benefit of 9.5mm length?
It allows easy reach to outer casing or panel buttons.
Q5: Can it be used in compact devices?
Yes, its 6×2mm base makes it perfect for tight PCB layouts.
