Push Button Starter Switches: Custom Symbols and 19MM Size

Push button starter switches are widely used in the automotive and ship industries for their ability to provide clear and reliable indication of important functions.

With the increasing complexity of engine management systems, these switches have become an essential component of the control console.

They allow drivers to easily start and stop engines, as well as activate various functions such as warning lights and other safety features.

These switches are not only applicable to ships, but also to a variety of vehicles, including cars, trucks, and other industrial machinery.

At FILN, we offer a range of high-quality push button switches suitable for a wide range of applications in the automotive and ship industries.

Understanding the Starter Switches and Ignition Switches

Push Button Starter Switch and Push Button Ignition Switch are both types of switches used to start a vehicle engine.

Meaning of Push Button Starter Switch：

A Push Button Starter Switch is a momentary switch that only engages the starter motor when it is pressed, and disengages as soon as it is released. It is commonly used in race cars and other high-performance vehicles where quick engine starts are necessary.

Meaning of Push Button Ignition Switch：

On the other hand, a Push Button Ignition Switch is a latching switch that engages and disengages the starter motor with a single push. Once the engine is started, the switch remains in the “on” position until it is turned off. This type of switch is becoming increasingly popular in modern vehicles because it eliminates the need for a physical key and allows for keyless entry.

In summary, while both switches serve the same purpose of starting a vehicle engine, they differ in their operation and features, and each has its own set of advantages and disadvantages.

Comparing Push Button Starter Switch and Push Button Ignition Switch

Push Button Starter Switch and Push Button Ignition Switch are two commonly used types of push button switches in the automotive industry. Here is a comparison table of their similarities and differences, as well as their advantages and disadvantages:

Both push button starter switch and push button ignition switch are designed to make starting a vehicle more convenient and efficient. The main difference is that the push button starter switch activates the starter motor, while the push button ignition switch starts and stops the engine.

One advantage of the push button starter switch is that it is simple and straightforward to use. However, it may require a separate ignition switch, which can add to the cost and complexity of the system.

One advantage of the push button ignition switch is that it reduces the risk of key-related ignition issues, such as a broken or lost key. However, it may be more complex and expensive to repair if something goes wrong.

Overall, the choice between push button starter switch and push button ignition switch depends on the specific needs and preferences of the vehicle owner or manufacturer.

Application of Push Button Starter Switches:

Push button starter switches are a type of switch that are widely used in various devices, from cars and boats to aviation, construction, and agriculture.

Push Button Ignition Switches are typically only applicable for use in automobiles or boats as the primary start switch.

Unlike push button ignition switches, which are mainly used as the main start switch, push button starter switches are more versatile and can be applied in many other fields.

The earliest push button starter switches were simple buttons without any special features, but later illuminated push button starter switches were developed to make them easier to use in dark environments.

These switches usually had a ring symbol or a power symbol on them, and they are still the most common type today. However, as market demands changed in the 21st century, people wanted more personalized and diverse symbols that could convey the function of the switch more clearly, simply, and aesthetically.

Some examples of these symbols are fan, bell, lock, speaker, etc. Some well-known device manufacturers even engraved their logos on the push button starter switches, making them a phenomenon-level expression of the button switch.

There are also different types of push button starter switches based on their electrical contacts and actions.

For example, a push-to-make switch allows electricity to flow when pressed, while a push-to-break switch interrupts the circuit when pressed.

Overall, push button starter switches are a crucial component in many devices that require switch-on and switch-off operations, and they continue to evolve to meet the changing demands of the market.

Features of 19MM push button switch:

FILN recommends the 19mm mounting hole size for its Push Button Starter Switch, which is one of the most popular sizes on the market.

Except for the size of 19mm (0.75 inch), we have the sizes of 12mm (0.47 inch), 16mm (0.63 inch), 22mm (0.87 inch), 25mm (0.98 inch), 28mm (1.10 inch), 30mm (1.18 inch), and 40mm (1.57 inch).

The product has two functions self-lock and self-reset.

The self-lock product means that press down the button, it will not return automatically, press it again, it will return.

The self-reset product means when you press the button, and release your hand, the key returns automatically.

Our Push Button Starter Switch has versatile functions, including 1NO1NC, making it suitable for various devices.

The switch is equipped with a public pin C, which is also a common pin, and normally closed pin NC and normally open pin NO on both sides.

It also comes with different light options, such as monochrome, two-color, and three-color lamps, with two to four light pins.

Our switch’s lights are polarity-insensitive, allowing for easy installation.

Certainly, although the 12V Push Button Switch is widely used in the market, different countries, regions, or devices may require different voltages.

For instance, button switches used in toys may operate at voltages as low as 3-9V, while the 12V Push Button Switch can be utilized in various applications. As a factory, we have the capability to manufacture button switches ranging from 3-250V, and we can also customize switches for specific voltage requirements.

Therefore, apart from the 12V Push Button Switch, we can provide switches with the voltage you desire.

FILN offers three material options: stainless steel, copper plated nickel, and black zinc-aluminum alloy.

Both the silver stainless steel and brass nickel-plated options are corrosion-resistant and have high cost-effectiveness.

The zinc and aluminum alloy switch has a beautiful appearance and can be customized to fit your needs.
