I'm wondering if someone can point me in the right direction towards understanding:
I've assembled this soft latch push button switch (from the EEV blog) :
It works with an LED, or a small current consuming load. However, I'm trying to use it to power on/off a wifi router (5V, about 300 mA) and it won't latch in the OFF position.
I'm currently researching this on my own but the sooner I figure it out the better, so if anyone has any clues it'd be greatly appreciated.
