Pushbutton Switches

Pushbutton switches are mechanical switching devices that are operated by pressing or pushing a manually operated button. Pushbutton switches come in many sizes, styles, and ratings for use in a variety of industrial and commercial applications. They can be mounted in a variety of circuits and wiring systems, from the simplest on/off use to complex automation and control systems.

1.Application Field

Pushbutton switches are used to electrically control circuits in a wide variety of applications. Common applications include controlling lighting, powering elevators and escalators, controlling signals in transportation systems, and operating machinery and machinery safety systems. Pushbutton switches have also become increasingly prevalent in consumer electronics, with their use in many audio and video equipment, home appliances, and other consumer products.

2.Working Principle

At its most basic, a pushbutton switch consists of a spring-loaded button or rocker, or a raised, flat, or domed button that is wired directly to the circuit. When the button is pressed, the contacts beneath the button are engaged, sending an electrical signal to the circuit. Depending on the type of switch, the signal can be momentary or continuous. Momentary switches are typically used for one-off actions such as turning on a light or activating a control; whereas continuous switches are used to control circuits for longer periods of time such as in motor speed controls.

More sophisticated pushbutton switches integrate advanced features such as LED lighting, optical and capacitive sensors, automated functions, and logic inputs. These features allow the switch to perform more advanced operations such as monitoring the performance of a system, controlling multiple circuits simultaneously, and providing feedback to the user. In addition, most pushbutton switches are now available with a variety of finishes and material options, allowing them to be tailored to the aesthetic of the application.
