Hello,
My amplifier remote has gone bad. The volume + and - buttons are no longer tactile and it does not come up once pushed. I am planning to replace them and found exact same size tactile switch on Mouser.

My questions are;
1) Is the switch pretty much universal so can use this 12vDC switch as long as it fits in size or I need to somehow find out exact spec to replace with?
The remote takes 2 x 1.5v AAA batteries.
2) Is there specific orientation of the tactile switch that needs to be mounted (such as pin 1 is top left etc) or can be mounted either side as long as two lefts are facing side ways?
Sorry for novice questions and first time replacing tactile switch on remote and any help would be hugely appreciated.
Thank you.

When I measured DC voltage between A & B , and C & D, it came up with 3.23V dc which seems correct given 2 x 1.5v batteries.
Not sure if above mentioned 12v DC dactile switch would be ok to use with and is there certain orientation to be mounted on (pin 1 to 4).

Attached is the switch data sheet that has the internal schematic.
You can test them with an ohm meter when there are no batteries in the circuit.
From your photo, terminals A and C are same and terminals B and D are the same.
When the button is pushed A-C connects to B-D.
In this case the orientation doesn't matter.
When ordering the new switch, just make sure the height of the stem or button is the same as the old switch.
These switches are very common but they are made with many different button heights.
