SMD Side Press Tactile Switch (2-Pin, 4.5 × 2.2 mm)

The SMD Side Press Tactile Switch (2-Pin, 4.5 × 2.2 mm) is a compact, low-profile tactile push button designed for space-constrained PCB applications. Featuring a horizontal (side press) actuation, it is ideal for edge-mounted user interfaces such as reset buttons, mode switches, and power controls.
This switch provides reliable tactile feedback, stable mechanical performance, and easy SMT assembly. Its compact footprint makes it highly suitable for modern embedded designs including flight controllers, IoT devices, and portable electronics.
