Pushbutton Switches: 39-261 RED Application Field and Working Principle

Pushbutton switches are universal for the use of switching the operation of various electrical systems. These devices are either stationary or panel mountable, or are available in many pushbutton styles, such as illuminated or unlit, and momentary or toggle action. Among these, red pushbuttons provide an excellent visual indicator for safety and process control functions, making them popular for use in various industrial settings.

The 39-261 RED Pushbutton from C&K is an illuminated momentary red pushbutton switch in a recessed SPST construction, featuring an actuator type of ring illuminated with one LED. This switch has a voltage rating of 12V DC, and its current rating is 0.5 A. With an IP67 sealed protection, this switch can perform in a wide range of industrial and commercial applications, such as access control, light switch control, and many HVAC applications.

Regarding the operating principle of the 39-261 RED pushbutton, it normally operates as an open switch, but it will close when the actuator is depressed. The switch can maintain continuity under light pressure to ensure positive contact engagement, while it will open when the actuator is released. It comprises two inner contact structures that are connected to the switch terminals, and an actuating plunger in the center that is used to toggle the contact state between the open and closed cycles.

The 39-261 RED pushbutton is constructed with an actuator ring that functions in two stages. The switch will light up when it is depressed, displaying a brightly illuminated LED ring that serves as an indicator. With the LED in standby mode, the switch will maintain a low voltage output state. When the switch is activated, the LED will provide full-power illumination, which can be seen from the illuminated red ring around the actuator.

The 39-261 RED pushbutton switch is an ideal solution for various industrial and HVAC applications. This device offers reliable, accurate momentary contact for two-way switching operations, along with a bright LED indication for visual indication of switch status. Thanks to its sturdy and reliable construction, this switch is suitable for a wide range of applications, including access control, gaming machines, vending machines, and various other industrial control applications.

Adding to its versatility, the 39-261 RED pushbutton is rated to perform in a wide range of operating temperature conditions, from -40°C to +85°C. This switch is also available in several different versions with straight, latching, and key actuating mechanisms, giving users more options for use in various applications.

In conclusion, the 39-261 RED Pushbutton from C&K is an ideal solution for those looking for reliable switching operations and bright visual indication. Suitable for use in a wide range of industrial and HVAC applications, this switch offers a reliable and efficient switching time, along with a sturdy and reliable construction that ensures long-term use. Through its versatile design, this switch is suitable for a wide range of applications, such as access control, vending machines, gaming machines, and various other industrial control applications.
