### 2. Key Features and Construction
* **Momentary Action:** The switch only completes the circuit while the button is physically being pressed down. Once released, the internal spring pushes the actuator back, breaking the circuit.
* **Tactile Feedback:** These switches usually provide a "click" sensation, confirming to the user that the input has been registered.
* **Compact Footprint:** Designed for high-density board layouts where space is limited.
* **Durability:** Usually rated for thousands of cycles (actuations) before mechanical failure.

### 3. Pinout and Internal Logic
The KB-2JLN-R generally features 2 or 4 pins. In 4-pin configurations, the pins are often connected in pairs to provide mechanical stability on the PCB.
