Push Buttons
A push button switch is an electrical switch that is activated by pressing a button. They come in various sizes, shapes, and styles, and are commonly used in control panels, machinery, and other devices that require a user interface.
Push button switches have different current and voltage ratings, which determine their operating conditions. They can be mounted in different ways, such as surface mount or through-hole mounting with PC pins. They also have different functionality, including momentary or latching, meaning that they can be activated for a short period of time or remain in the on position until they are turned off.
Pushbutton switches typically have a panel-mounted design, where the button protrudes from the surface of the panel. They may also have different caps or accessories that can be added to provide additional functionality, such as indicating lights or protective covers. The terminals of pushbutton switches can be screw or solder-type connections, and they can be actuated by human hands or with other tools.
There are various types of pushbutton switches, including SPDT (single pole double throw), DPDT (double pole double throw), and break-before-make. They can be used in a multitude of applications, ranging from simple on/off controls to more complex circuits requiring multiple switches. Pushbutton switches are small and easy to use, making them a popular choice in many electronic projects and devices.
