Reliable 6 Pin DPDT Push Button Switch for PCB Applications
The PB-22E65 is a 6 pin push switch with a DPDT (2P2T) circuit, through‑hole PCB mounting, and a choice of self‑locking or momentary operation. This 6 pin push button switch features a compact 5.8×5.8mm body, 10,000‑cycle mechanical life, and silver alloy contacts for reliable low‑resistance switching. Rated 0.5A 30V DC. RoHS & REACH compliant. Bulk/Tube packaging. MOQ 1,000 pcs. Free sample for qualified projects.
6 Pin Push Switch Overview
A 6 pin push switch is a dual‑pole double‑throw (DPDT) push button designed for through‑hole PCB mounting. Its six terminals—two common, two normally‑open, and two normally‑closed—allow simultaneous switching of two independent circuits. This DPDT push switch is widely used for signal routing, mode selection, and power control in industrial panels, audio processors, and test instruments. The PB-22E65 is available in both self‑locking (push‑on/push‑off) and momentary (press‑and‑hold) versions, covering a broad range of control logic requirements without additional components.
The compact 5.8×5.8mm footprint fits easily into dense PCB layouts, while the through‑hole terminals provide strong mechanical anchoring that resists the repeated actuation forces typical of front‑panel controls. This PCB push switch is compatible with both wave soldering and manual assembly, making it a practical choice for prototyping through high‑volume production.

Key Features of the 6 Pin Push Button Switch
DPDT Dual‑Circuit Switching
Switch two independent circuits simultaneously with a single push, perfect for stereo audio, polarity reversal, and redundant control lines.
Compact PCB Footprint
The 5.8×5.8mm body saves board space while providing a full‑size tactile response and secure through‑hole mounting.
Reliable Switching Performance
Silver alloy contacts ensure low contact resistance and stable signal transmission over the switch’s 10,000‑cycle lifetime.
Self‑Lock or Momentary Options
Choose a self lock push switch for maintained on/off states, or a momentary version for press‑and‑hold applications.
Easy Soldering & Assembly
Through‑hole terminals are compatible with wave soldering and manual soldering, reducing manufacturing complexity.
OEM Customisation Available
Custom actuator colours, cap shapes, and force profiles are available for volume orders.
Applications of 6 Pin Push Switch

Frequently Asked Questions – 6 Pin Push Switch
What is a 6 pin push switch?
A 6 pin push switch is a DPDT (2P2T) push button with six terminals—two common, two normally‑open, and two normally‑closed. The PB-22E65 is a PCB through‑hole version available in self‑lock or momentary operation.
How does a DPDT push switch work?
A DPDT push switch toggles two independent circuits simultaneously. In the resting position, each common terminal is connected to its normally‑closed contact. Pressing the button switches both commons to the normally‑open contacts.
What is the difference between momentary and self‑lock push switches?
A momentary push switch returns to its original state when released, while a self‑lock push switch stays in the new position until pressed again. The PB-22E65 is available in both versions.
Can this switch be used for PCB mounting?
Yes. The PB-22E65 features through‑hole terminals designed for wave soldering or manual soldering directly onto a PCB.
Do you offer custom actuator colours?
Yes. The standard actuator is black, but custom colours are available for OEM projects with sufficient order volume.
Can I request free samples?
Yes. We provide free engineering samples for evaluation. Contact sales@vistarelectronics.com with your project details to request one.
