Momentary Push Button Switch Wiring Guide: Instructions and Configurations

What is a Momentary Push Button Switch?

A “Momentary Push Button Switch” refers to a switch device that creates a temporary electrical connection when the button is pressed, but quickly disconnects when the button is released.

Unlike switches that remain in an open or closed state, this switch is only active while the button is being pressed. It finds application in situations where a momentary action is required, such as in electronic devices, control panels, remote controls, and similar applications.

Pressing the button triggers an electrical signal or initiates a specific operation, which ceases or interrupts as soon as the button is released.

The key characteristics of a Momentary Push Button Switch are as follows:

1. Spring-Loaded Mechanism: The switch operates by applying and releasing pressure on the button, which causes the electrical contact to be made and broken accordingly.
2. Short-Term Connection: It creates a brief and transient electrical connection when the button is activated.
3. Wide Range of Uses: Commonly used in various applications that require momentary activation, such as electronic devices, control panels, remote controls, and more.
4. Small and Sturdy Design: Typically designed to be small, allowing for easy integration into different devices, and built to withstand repeated use.
5. Fast Reaction Time: The switch provides an instant reaction when the button is pressed, making it suitable for applications that require quick activation or signaling.
6. Normally Open or Normally Closed Configuration: Depending on the specific switch, it can be designed to be normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) when not pressed, providing flexibility for different circuit configurations.
7. Different Actuator Styles: Available with various button shapes, sizes, and colors, providing options for different user preferences and design requirements.
8. Contact Ratings: The switch has specified electrical ratings for voltage and current, ensuring compatibility with the intended application.
9. Easy Installation: Designed for straightforward installation, often featuring solder or screw terminals for connection to the circuit.
10. Longevity: Constructed with durable materials to ensure a long operational lifespan, even with frequent usage.

Difference between Latching Push Button Switch

Here is the table describing the differences between a Momentary Push Button Switch and a Latching Push Button Switch:

The description of the momentary push button switch:

This push button switch is characterized by its 19mm mounting hole diameter, IP67 waterproof rating, and a rated current of 5A 250V.

It features a screw thread for easy installation and comes in various button materials including nickel-plated brass, stainless steel, and zinc alloy (with a black shell).

The aluminum alloy version is available in different colors such as red, green, yellow, blue, and black due to its oxidization properties.

With its attractive design, this push button switch is available in two head shapes: high head and flat head.

This push button switch has two modes of operation: 1NO1NC with self-reset and 1NO1NC with self-lock.

A 1NO1NC switch has one normally open (NO) contact and one normally closed (NC) contact.

A self-reset switch returns to its original state when the button is released, while a self-lock switch stays in the switched state until the button is pressed again.

A momentary switch push button is a type of self-reset switch that creates a temporary electrical connection when the button is pressed and breaks it when the button is released.

A momentary switch push button is ideal for applications that require quick and transient activation or signaling.

The momentary push button switch is made of durable zinc alloy and plastic materials that can withstand high and low temperatures. It has a colorful and elegant appearance that can match any furniture or appliance. It also has a waterproof design that can resist water splashes and dust.

Our momentary switch push button has two modes of operation: self-reset and self-lock. You can choose the one that suits your needs. It also has a 1NO1NC function and a 2.5mm silver contact point that can handle up to 5A current. It is easy to install and use, with a plug-in design and epoxy glue at the bottom.

Our momentary push button switch can be customized according to your preferences. You can choose from different colors, such as red, green, yellow, blue, white, orange, etc. You can also choose from different voltages, such as 3V, 12V, 24V, 36V, etc. Our product has a long service life of 100,000 times and a mechanical life of 500,000 times.

Our product is suitable for various applications, such as oven, electric fryer, washing machine, refrigerator, massage chair, industrial machinery and equipment. It is a reliable and convenient switch that can enhance your user experience.

In addition to its features as a momentary push button switch, this product offers the convenience of both wire soldering and customizable wire length.

It supports dual-color LEDs, including red/green, red/blue, and yellow/red, with options for common cathode or common anode dual-color illumination.

Custom symbol customization is available upon request. The switch also includes a dedicated button connector, facilitating easy replacement.

How to wire momentary push button switch?(More wiring methods)

To wire a momentary push button switch, follow these steps:

1. For a normally closed configuration:
   • Connect the push button switch’s common terminal (C) to the public port.
   • Connect the normally closed terminal (NC) to the positive terminal of the device.
   • Connect the positive terminal of the LED to the normally open terminal (NO).
   • Connect the negative terminal of the device and the negative terminal of the LED to the negative terminal of the power source.
   • When the button is pressed, the LED will turn on.
2. For a standard configuration:
   • Connect the positive terminal of the power source to the common terminal (C).
   • Connect the normally closed terminal (NC) to the positive terminal of the device.
   • Connect the positive terminal of the LED to the normally open terminal (NO).
   • Connect the negative terminal of the device and the negative terminal of the LED to the negative terminal of the power source.
