The breakout uses a latching analog circuit that is triggered by a push of the button. Press once to turn on, then press again to turn off. The circuit uses a 3A P-FET to connect and disconnect the IN pin to the OUT pin. Works great from 3V to 14VDC and up to 3A (although the FET gets a little toasty at continuous 3A draw) yet has only 0.5uA quiescent current draw.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing it is easy: connect the power source to Ground and IN, then the load from Ground to OUT. We include a 12mm tactile switch that works well but you can solder in your own switch as well. Press the button (or short the button pins) to alternate between on or off. A on-board red LED will light up when active so you know its working. There's a fourth KILL pin, which you can use to turn off the load and\/or keep it off even if the button is pressed. When 1 or more volts is applied it will instantly turn off the FET. This allows your project to turn itself off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComes with a assembled \u0026amp; tested bread-board friendly breakout board with four mounting holes, a 12mm tactile button, and some 0.1\" male header you can solder to the board to plug it into a breadboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe power switch is an elegant way to control power to your project, but there are some things to keep in mind: since there is a pass FET, this is only for 3-14V DC voltages. This is not a mechanical switch so there is no air-gap isolation. There is a 'body diode' in the pass FET so if the load has a voltage on it that is higher than the input voltage, current will flow back to the input. There is built-in debouncing but very bouncy switches can be annoying as they will turn on and off fast instead of latching.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2021-06-08T16:58:54-04:00","created_at":"2021-06-08T16:57:37-04:00","vendor":"Adafruit","type":"Adafruit","tags":[],"price":590,"price_min":590,"price_max":590,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":595,"compare_at_price_min":595,"compare_at_price_max":595,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":39340495011958,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"K709","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Adafruit Push-button Power Switch Breakout","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":590,"weight":0,"compare_at_price":595,"inventory_quantity":12,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"continue","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1749\/9663\/products\/1400-06.jpg?v=1623185857","\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1749\/9663\/products\/1400-05.jpg?v=1623185918","\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1749\/9663\/products\/1400-04.jpg?v=1623185921"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1749\/9663\/products\/1400-06.jpg?v=1623185857","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":20499316277366,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.332,"height":728,"width":970,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1749\/9663\/products\/1400-06.jpg?v=1623185857"},"aspect_ratio":1.332,"height":728,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1749\/9663\/products\/1400-06.jpg?v=1623185857","width":970},{"alt":null,"id":20499317784694,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.332,"height":728,"width":970,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1749\/9663\/products\/1400-05.jpg?v=1623185918"},"aspect_ratio":1.332,"height":728,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1749\/9663\/products\/1400-05.jpg?v=1623185918","width":970},{"alt":null,"id":20499317915766,"position":3,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.332,"height":728,"width":970,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1749\/9663\/products\/1400-04.jpg?v=1623185921"},"aspect_ratio":1.332,"height":728,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1749\/9663\/products\/1400-04.jpg?v=1623185921","width":970}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003eThe Adafruit Push-button Power Switch is a tidy little design that lets you control a DC power source using an everyday tactile button.
