          Comments about RadioShack SPST 12VDC/50mA 5.0mm High Tact Switch:

          This is a tactile surface mount switch. those of you who say the legs are two short should realize that the switches are not meant for breadboards or through hole perferated boards.

                The leads are too short for solderless breadboards, so don't bother using it for that. Broke one off trying to straighten it out.

                      Comments about RadioShack SPST 12VDC/50mA 5.0mm High Tact Switch:

                      These switches are being used to control a portable illumination system. Their size makes them ideal for small, hand held control switch pads. In addition, the switches require quite a press in order to trigger them, thus reducing the chance of an accidental switch press. I'm really impressed with the quality of these switches. Note that you'll need a fine tipped soldering iron to solder the leads.

                            Description says this is a SPST switch. Normally, these would hold their state. This is a MOMENTARY switch and cannot be used to turn devices on and off. We built boards assuming this switch was a non-momentary switch and then had to re-design because the information was lacking.

                            This switch may be fine, but the information about it was lacking.
