6 Pin Square Tactile Push Button Switch – 5.8 × 5.8 mm DPDT
The 6 Pin Square Tactile Push Button Switch is a compact PCB-mount push switch with a six-terminal DPDT configuration. The referenced FlyRobo listing identifies it as a self-locking push-button switch with a 5.8 × 5.8 mm body, intended for direct through-hole mounting on a PCB. This makes it useful where a compact push control and two-pole changeover function are required.
