Push Button Switch ON OFF: 16mm Diameter Momentary 12V Metal With Ring LED Power Symbol

What is a Push Button Switch ON OFF?

A push button switch ON-OFF is a type of electrical switch that is activated by pressing a button or actuator.

When you push the button, the switch makes or breaks the circuit, turning the connected device or circuit ON or OFF respectively.

These switches are commonly used in various electronic and electrical applications where a momentary push action is required to control the power or functionality of a device.

Once you release the button, the switch returns to its original state, and the circuit reverts to its previous state (ON or OFF) depending on the design.

Push Button Switch ON-OFF: Versatile Applications

Our push button switch ON-OFF finds wide-ranging applications across various industries. It is commonly used in packing machines, coffee machines, water dispensers, automatic marking machines, ovens, electric fryers, washing machines, refrigerators, massage chairs, and other furniture and electrical equipment.

Structure of Push Button Switch ON-OFF

The push button switch ON-OFF consists of a controller, shell, contacts, and feet.

There are different types available, including common snap button type, mushroom head type, self-locking type, self-resetting type, rotary handle type, indicator light type, light symbol type, and key type.

These switches typically adopt a water accumulation structure, comprising a push button switch cap, return spring, static contact, moving contact, and shell. The configurations may include normally closed and normally open contacts, and multiple components can be series-connected to increase the number of contact pairs.

Material of 16mm Push Button Switch ON-OFF

The 16mm push button switch ON-OFF is available in three shell materials: stainless steel, brass, and black aluminum.

Stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance, while brass is typically chrome-plated or nickel-plated, providing a smoother and aesthetically pleasing surface. Black aluminum, achieved through electrophoresis, offers a durable and non-fading finish.

Functions of 16mm Push Button Switch

The push button switch ON-OFF can have self-resetting and self-locking functions, depending on the presence or absence of a lock hook.

Additionally, the switches can be differentiated based on their normally closed and normally open functions. When the push button switch is not pressed, the moving contact is connected to the static contact above, constituting the normally closed contact.

Conversely, when the push button switch is pressed, the normally closed contact is disconnected, and the normally open contact is closed. These switches are used to issue start or stop instructions in control circuits with AC and DC voltages below 440V and currents less than 5A.

Types of Push Button Switch ON-OFF

Push button switches come in various types, including protective, with light indicators, explosion-proof, waterproof, emergency, open-type, interlocking, knob-type, key-type, self-holding, and combined push button switches. The selection of the appropriate type depends on the specific application requirements and working conditions.

Use and Maintenance

To ensure proper functioning and longevity, push button switches should be regularly checked for dirt and debris.

High-temperature environments require special attention to prevent plastic deformation and aging. Push button switches with indicator lights should be carefully managed to avoid deformation of the lampshade over time.

In cases of poor contact, appropriate actions like cleaning, repairing, or replacing specific components should be taken to rectify the issue.
