Push Button Switch

Product Description

Our push button switch is a widely used electronic control component designed for reliable, intuitive, and safe operation. With a simple press–release mechanism, this button switch enables users to make or break circuits, controlling the on/off functions of electrical devices with precision.

Push button switches are indispensable in both daily appliances and industrial control systems. Whether used as a push button starter switch in machinery, a push to exit button in access control systems, or an e stop push button for emergency shutdown, these switches offer consistent performance and long-lasting durability. Built with high-quality materials and strict manufacturing processes, our push button switches ensure operational safety in all environments.

Working Principle

The push button switch operates through a straightforward mechanical action. When the button is pressed, its internal contacts close, allowing the electric current to pass through. Releasing the button separates the contacts and opens the circuit, stopping the current flow.

Depending on use requirements, the switch may function as:

Normally Open (NO) Switch: In this type, the contacts are open when not pressed and close when the button is activated, connecting the circuit.

Normally Closed (NC) Switch: Conversely, in this type, the contacts are closed when not pressed and open when the button is activated, disconnecting the circuit.

Center Off (CO) Switch: This type has two sets of contacts: one set is normally open, and the other is normally closed. When the button is not pressed, neither set is active. Pressing the button activates one set of contacts while deactivating the other.

Push button switches are an integral part of our daily lives and industrial operations due to their versatility, simplicity, and reliability. Understanding their working principles, types, and applications helps in selecting the right switch for a specific task or application. As technology advances, new types of push button switches with enhanced features and capabilities are being developed to meet the evolving needs of various industries and applications. However, at their core, they remain a simple yet effective solution for controlling electrical devices through manual activation.

Q: What is a Push Button Switch?

A: A push button switch is an electrical component that completes or breaks a circuit by pressing a plunger or button. It's commonly used for user input in devices.

Q: What are the main types?

A: The two primary types are momentary (circuit is active only while pressed) and latching (circuit state toggles with each press, like an on/off switch).

Q: Where are they typically used?

A: They are ubiquitous in consumer electronics, industrial control panels, medical equipment, and automotive applications for start/stop functions.

Q: What does Normally Open (NO) mean?

A: A Normally Open (NO) switch has contacts that are not touching, so the circuit is open until the button is pressed to close it.

Q: How are they mounted?

A: Most are designed for panel mounting, where the switch body is inserted through a hole and secured with a nut. 

Q: What are common termination styles?

A: Terminations include solder lugs, screw terminals, and quick-connect tabs for easy wiring.
