Micro push button switch ON/OFF 0.3g

A micro switch designed for your slot car lights to work effortlessly

The Tectime TT800 is an ON/OFF push button micro switch weighing just 0.3 grams, specifically conceived to manage the lighting system in slot cars. Its small size and weight make it the ideal choice when space in the chassis is very limited and every gram counts.

Main features

• Ultra-lightweight: 0.3 grams, without compromising the balance or weight distribution of the car.
• ON/OFF push button function: direct and intuitive operation to activate or deactivate the lights.
• Mini design: perfect for installations in very confined spaces within the slot chassis.
• Simple operation: avoids the lateral stress characteristic of slide switches, minimising the risk of breaking the pin.

Function and performance

One of the most appreciated advantages of this push button over toggle or slide switches is the way it is activated: a clean and vertical push, without forcing the component in any direction. This is especially relevant when working with such small parts, as lateral pressure on the pin is the most common cause of breakage in this type of small-format electronics.

Installation and preparation

Thanks to its minimal weight and compact dimensions, the TT800 can be installed in virtually any area of the chassis without interfering with aerodynamics or weight distribution. It is sufficient to locate an accessible point from the exterior of the body —or from an existing opening— to operate it comfortably without disassembling the car.

Ideal for…

• Enthusiasts who want to equip their slot car with functional lighting while keeping the total weight under control.
• Preparers looking for a reliable switch that is easy to install and does not compromise the mechanical integrity of the chassis.
• Diorama and model builders with internal lighting systems where available space is very limited.

Frequently asked questions

What is this micro switch used for exactly?

It is designed to control the on and off of lights in slot cars and other modelling applications where a small, lightweight, and easy-to-operate switch is needed.

Why is it recommended over a slide switch?

The operation of the TT800 is vertical (by push), which avoids applying lateral pressure on the pin. In slide toggle switches, that lateral force is the most common cause of breakage, especially in components of this size.

How much does it weigh and why does weight matter?

It weighs only 0.3 grams. In competitive slot cars, every gram affects mass distribution and track performance, so having the lightest possible lighting components is a real advantage.

Is it difficult to install?

No. Its mini format makes installation in tight spaces easy. You just need to find a point on the chassis that is accessible to operate it, and solder or connect the lighting line wires to its terminals.

Is it compatible with any slot car?

As it is a generic electronic component (a push button), it is compatible with any lighting installation regardless of the brand or scale of the car, as long as the electrical parameters of the circuit are suitable.

The Tectime TT800 is an ultra-lightweight ON/OFF push button micro switch weighing just 0.3 grams, designed for slot car lighting systems. Its simple push action prevents the lateral stress that causes pin breakage in slide-type switches, making it a reliable and easy-to-install solution for slot car builders and modellers working with tight chassis spaces.
