I’m planning to add a momentary switch to a single loop DC circuit. Will this cause any amount of resistance in the circuit? I’m a complete noobie when it comes to electronics, any resource links or clarification is appreciated. I know the type of material/width of wire and a pot will cause resistance but will any component put in line with the circuit cause resistance, and if so how do I go about measuring the resistance for each component within the circuit?

    Thanks for the feedback and info, I’ll know what to look for next time. Unfortunately, I purchased a tattoo pedal as the momentary switch, thinking it would be easier to operate. link Btw. thanks for clarifying everything has resistance, that concept confused me more than I thought it would.

      Open it up!

      They put a regular old switch inside a fancy box, but you’ll be able to read the part number once you see the actual switch.
