------Question for K5G4/6.5N AU Please Put your question below------
I need to buy a replacement double stroke pushbutton for a flashlight and this looks to be the right part. Only problem is that this unit is obsolete. Is there a similar product that does something similar or am i screwed?
Hello moderately.skinny,
Welcome to the DigiKey TechForum.
I don’t know what you mean by double stroke, as this is a single throw switch, and will only be “ON” if you are holding the button in.
If you are looking for a double pole, or double throw switch, or one that will lock or stay in each position, like “ON” and “OFF”, you can look at part number P15877SCT-ND. It’s not identical, but it will have 6 leads, so each side is a separate switch, and each switch has a common, and a Normally Open and Normally Closed switch. So the common is connected to the NC contact, and when you push the button, the common will switch to the NO contact. Once you push the button again, it will go back to the NC contact. Both sides of the switch, will change at the same time.
Is this the type you are looking for?
