Hello,
just a simple suggestion:
why not use a transistor, wired emitter+collector on both sides of the wires that lead to the pushbutton and exposing the base (with a 1K resistor for ex) as a pin for turning ON the switch?
today I’m using this setup (with an overkill BC337 NPN) to power the switch ON (see it as the transistor is wired in parallel with the pushbutton). OFF is as usual done with the dedicated PIN.
YOu may wonder why do this? the setup I’m using it for is a very common one: driving an ESC. A 10-15A ESC uses at least 40mA, some of them even as high as 100mA (Rocar Robbe: 80mA). Multiply that by two (a differential driven robot) and you get a pretty heavy power consumption for a robot that should idle with the least power draw as possible.
So today, I’m using two pololu switches to turn them OFF when the motors are not used. Turning them is accomplished by the setup described above.
Another example would be to use a solar cell for ex for turning on a robot: when it gets exposed to light, it wakes up.
I think that adding a 1K smd resistor, 1 NPN low power transistor and 1 male header extra won’t raise the price for the switch by more than 0.2 USD. The feature you win however is clearly a +.
