ALPS ALPINE SPPH4 Latching DPDT Push Button Switch

The ALPS ALPINE SPPH4 Series Latching DPDT Push Button Switch is a compact and reliable electronic component designed for precise control in low-voltage DC circuits. As a Double Pole, Double Throw (DPDT) switch, it allows for the simultaneous control of two separate circuits, making it highly versatile for switching or routing signals in electronic devices. Its latching operation means it maintains its state (either on or off) after being pressed and released, providing a stable and tactile user interface.

Constructed for through-hole mounting with PC pin terminals, this switch is ideal for secure and permanent soldering onto printed circuit boards (PCBs), ensuring a robust electrical connection. It is rated for use in low-power applications, with a maximum DC rating of 30V and 100mA, making it suitable for a wide range of consumer electronics, instrumentation, and control panels where space is at a premium.
