## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA5493:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA5493:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

When designing your next PCB, if you're not sure what sort of tactile switches you can fit, or how they would look, this **Tactile Switch Assortment with 25 Different Buttons (10 pcs each type)** is incredibly handy! You get just enough that you can prototype and even lose a couple pieces, but not so many that you're drowning in buttons.

Also great for repair, if you're not positive of what tactile switch is in the appliance or device you're using.

Each switch is momentary-type, where the contacts on either side close when the button is pressed. Some have 4 legs since there's duplicate connections - that doesn't mean there's two separate switches. Use a multimeter on continuity mode if you're not sure of how the tact switch is set up.

These work best in soldered into a PCB but many of the through-hole type can be used on a solderless breadboard as shown in this tutorial.
