- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA1490:1` (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/ADA1490:1.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.

- **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

Super-tall clicky momentary switches are standard input "buttons" on electronic projects. These work best in a PCB but can be used on a solderless breadboard as shown in this tutorial. The pins are normally open (disconnected) and when the button is pressed they are momentarily closed. These are extra tall which are useful when putting your project in an enclosure and you want the buttons to stick out.
 
 They come in a pack of 10, they're pretty handy so you'll want to keep them around.
 
 You can find an EAGLE cad package for these in **switch-omron:B3F-40XX**

## Technical Details

- Base Dimensions: 6.08 mm / 0.23" x 6.08mm / 0.23" x 3.98mm / 0.15"
- Button Height: 8.25mm / 0.32" from body, 12mm above the PCB
