Hello all,

I'm trying to build a simple circuit in which an (already functioning) radio has a momentary switch built-in. I'm looking for a slimline button-cell type of switch such as this tactile switch.

My question regarding the above switch for example is: why are there four contact leads on it? Would this switch only have an on/off position? And how would I wire this in? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Bernie

Thanks for the prompt response, bertus!

I'm relatively new to circuitry and was wondering:

Does this mean I need to split my wire and have a positive end with two leads and a negative with two leads that each connect to two of the terminals on the switch? Or can I get away with making contact to just two of the terminals?
