This really would be more impressive to show next to something like a coin or a USB arduino. Seems larger than the usual button

We can do that.

These buttons are AWESOME!

Can someone give me the diameter and height of the round button itself? Thank you!

Diameter 7mm
Can't quite measure the height sorry.

Height from top of PCB to top of button surface: 8mm
(Height = square button "shoulder": 3mm + round "button": 5mm)

These buttons are awesome, nice clicky tactile feel, and the height of the button extends far enough to easily be reachable through many enclosure materials.

How many amps and volts is it rated for?

Can anybody comment on max power ratings?

Anyone know if this button is drop-in compatible with the buttons on the JYE oscilloscopes?

Is looks like the same footprint, only the actuator isn't as tall. Might cause issues if you're planning to put the little button hat on it.

I'm sorry if this is obvious to most of you out there, but if you've never worked with these (which I hadn't until I bought some of these buttons), this might be unclear: The legs of this button are NOT all independent connection points which are joined when the button is pressed. Rather, the legs form two pairs which are both joined when the button is pressed.
So how do you know which legs are linked? Well, look at how the four legs are curved. Legs that curve inwards towards each other are already connected even when the button isn't pressed. They connect to the other pair of legs when the button is pressed. Thus, in the main photo for these buttons, the two visible legs are not connected until the button is pressed.

Is this button normally open or normally closed?

Normally Open

I need pushbuttons for breadboard. This type of momentary pushbutton is supposed to be breadboard friendly. But I noticed that the legs are curve inwards towards each other. Will this pushbutton easily plug in the breadboard and easily unplug as well? Thanks.

Is there a way in Eagle to define the component such that two pads are connected to the same "pin" in the schematic symbol? As it stands, the best I've been able to come up with is defining four pins in the symbol, and explicitly drawing connections to one or the other in the schematic.

I find these buttons terrible for the basic breadboard on this site, they can't straddle the middle trough and will come out with the stickiness of your skin if you try and press it. The only way I could use it at all was to put it sort of crooked on one side of the breadboard and slip wires on the only exposed terminal for the row.
