## Description

Push once to turn one side on, push again to turn off, push again to turn the other side on, one last push and its off again! It's basically a push-button toggle switch that connects and disconnects the middle pin from either of the two side switches with every click. This clicky switch makes a great power switch or mode toggler. Adafruit like this switch because it's breadboard friendly and more fun than a power switch. Can reliably handle up to 500mA and up to 12VDC. This is a really satisfying switch.

**Note: The top of this button may come in red or black. The two buttons are identical. We cannot control which color button you'll receive.**

The leads are not on a perfect 0.1" grid so for use with a breadboard just bend the leads out just a tad and snap into a solderless breadboard or perfboard.
