Review on Cylewet CYT1078 Momentary Button Switch: Explore Efficient Control and Precision by Boss Spangler

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Very high failure rate (20%), no easy way to tighten the nut

Of the twenty switches I installed, three failed immediately and the fourth does not work normally, and about that Half of them don't work in 100% cases. This is after just one digit on the button has been pressed. These things just don't work reliably. Part of this may be due to temperature sensitivity, as two of the three that failed immediately had to be re-soldered more than once, but in any case these things are clearly not worth buying. Extras: * The holes in the grommets are ridiculously small, making them awkward to work with. * The screw threads are not large enough to mount on a plastic box with the lock washer installed. * The body is perfectly round with no flat sides to grab to tighten the nut. At this point I'll probably rip them all out and throw them away as soon as I'm not pressed for time. Save money and buy something better.

Pros
  • Type of action: Momentary
Cons
  • Not automatic
