Squid Button - Latching

The Latching Squid Button is a latching (click-on, click again off) push switch with trailing leads that end in female header sockets that will directly on to GPIO pins on a Raspberry Pi.

To reduce the chance of accidental short-circuits when using the Button, each Button has a built-in 470Ω resistor that does not affect the switching action when connected to a GPIO input but does mean that if the switch is accidentally connected across power connections, your Raspberry Pi will not come to any harm!

Please note individual Squids are packaged in a clear plastic bag.
