The microswitch is already mounted and adjusted, so installation takes minutes. No soldering is required if you use compatible connectors.

You receive six blue arcade push buttons, each with one microswitch and one fixing ring. The buttons are pre-assembled; just insert them into your panel’s holes, thread the fixing ring on the back, and tighten. The microswitch clips onto the button housing and can be oriented as needed.
