Continuous tact switch

[ToastBucket]

I'm not really sure what it's called, but I need tact switch that will have a usually open circuit, but when pressed down, the circuit closes and remains closed until it is pressed again. I know the GC had one of these but it's way to big for what I want to use it for. Any ideas on where I can get a pretty small one?

What do you plan on using it for, Toast? If it's for power, just use what Sam posted. It's what imma use.

It's called a Push-On Push-Off switch.
Sometimes.
Other times, it's called a "Locking" switch or "Locking Button".
Whatever.

Yeah it's for power. However I don't think that daftmike's circuit will work for me as the power I'd run through it is 3.7v. I'll look up Locking switches

I think it can go that low with some adjustments...

Bump for ease of use

This is the low voltage version operating from 2.5V to 7VDC

Must you be so needy?

Thank ye, Sam.

This is useful. I like da bump sam. I'll be using the low power one though as I'm running at 3.7v
