Horizontal push switch 2p2t

A horizontal push switch 2p2t is a side‑actuated push button designed for PCB mounting where vertical space is limited or side‑panel access is required. The actuator extends parallel to the board, making it ideal for edge‑mounted controls in compact enclosures. This horizontal push button switch uses a 2P2T (DPDT) circuit, allowing two independent circuits to be switched simultaneously with a single press. The PS-22F38 is available in both self‑locking (push‑on/push‑off) and momentary versions, covering a broad range of control logic requirements without additional components.

Compared to vertical push switches, a right angle push switch significantly reduces the total height above the PCB, enabling thinner product designs. The through‑hole terminals provide strong mechanical retention that withstands repeated actuation and lateral cable forces. This PCB push switch is compatible with wave soldering and manual assembly, making it practical for prototyping through volume production.

Horizontal push switches are widely used in industrial control systems, communication equipment, audio devices, and embedded electronic products where side‑actuated operation and compact PCB layouts are required. The 2P2T push switch circuit configuration enables reliable dual‑circuit switching for signal routing, function selection, and electronic control. When selecting a horizontal push button switch, engineers must evaluate actuation direction, circuit configuration, and mechanical life—all of which the PS-22F38 addresses with its right‑angle DPDT design and self‑lock/momentary options.
