Similar microswitches for five positions (without locking) are perfect for all kinds of electronic homemade. The switch itself is placed on a square platform with a side of 10 mm. The length of the stick is approximately 9 mm. The platform and the switch itself are made of plastic, an additional metal plate with six SMD leads (pitch 2.5 mm and 3.5 mm.) Is additionally placed on the site. The stick is shifted with a click, it feels moderately tight, and, thanks to this, random triggers are practically excluded. In addition, pressing down and up is somewhat easier than to the sides, which also reduces the likelihood of unwanted triggers. It should also be noted that the stick is equipped with a circular recess for installing the handle.
Key features of the manipulator:
• voltage: 12V;
• current strength: 50 mA.
5 joysticks are included in one lot, they are delivered in a bag like zip-lock. The life of such manipulators is designed for approximately 200,000 clicks. Temperature range at which the joysticks will continue to function: from -5 ° C to + 80 ° C.
A good option for some projects, capable of, for example, replacing 5 clock buttons at once. This joystick works clearly in the directions, when pressed, the response point is noticeably felt. It should be noted that, if necessary, a similar five-position manipulator, but already soldered on the board and with the “hat” installed, can be purchased here.
