The GBC 24.0879.00 is an ON-OFF tact switch designed for direct PCB mounting. Its narrow 6x3.5mm footprint makes it particularly suitable for space-constrained PCBs where a standard 6x6mm switch would not fit, such as densely packed control boards, handheld devices, and slim instrument panels.

The momentary (instant) switching action returns the circuit to OFF as soon as pressure is released. With only 2 pins, the switch has a smaller board footprint than 4-pin variants while maintaining IP20 protection against finger contact with live parts.

Key Features

• Microbutton (tact) mode with instant momentary action — OFF-(ON)
• 2-pin PCB mounting for a minimal board footprint
• Narrow 6x3.5mm footprint with 4.3mm height
• Rated operating range: 0.05A – 12Vdc
• IP20 protection degree
• Black colour; 2 switching positions

Product Benefits

• Narrow 6x3.5mm body fits into PCB rows and routing channels where wider tact switches cannot
• 2-pin layout reduces the board area consumed compared to 4-pin alternatives
• Momentary OFF-(ON) action is reliable for reset buttons, mode toggles, and momentary trigger inputs
• 12Vdc rating integrates directly with microcontroller and logic-level circuits
• IP20 rated to prevent accidental contact with electrical parts during normal use
