40-4527-00

Pushbutton switches, also known as momentary contact switches, are contact elements that are activated by mechanical pressure. Pushbutton switches are available in standard single-pole configurations, as well as alternate pole configurations, such as double-pole, double-throw (DPDT), latching, and Push-Lift. The 40-4527-00 is a momentary contact pushbutton switch with an orange body and 4 terminals. It is widely used in telecommunications equipment, ovens, alarms, and doorbell systems.

The pushbutton mechanisms chosen for the 40-4527-00 Switch can vary depending on the application. Commonly used mechanisms include plunger, toggle, and rocker-arm styles. The plunger style pushbutton has a button with a spring-loaded plunger that is depressed when the user pushes the button. The toggle style has a small lever that is actuated when the user moves their finger along the body of the switch. Finally, the rocker-arm style has a large lever that can be actuated from the center of the switch.

The 40-4527-00 Switch has a rated operating voltage of 125/250 VAC, a rated current of 16A and a rated dielectric strength of 1500VAC. It is made of durable, impact-resistant plastic and features a heavy-duty steel housing. The contact points are gold plated, allowing it to maintain its electrical properties during extended periods of use. The terminals are easily accessible, allowing for easy installation and maintenance.

The working principle of the 40-4527-00 Pushbutton Switch is based on a momentary contact design. When the switch is depressed, it makes a momentary contact, allowing electricity to pass through the switch and triggering a response from the electrical device. The switch will then remain in the open position until the user pushes the button again to close the circuit. This means that the switch will only be activated when the switch is depressed, making it suitable for applications that require an instantaneous response.

In conclusion, the 40-4527-00 PushButton Switch is a highly reliable, heavy-duty contact switch that is suitable for a variety of applications. It has a rated operating voltage of 125/250 VAC, a rated current of 16A, and a rated dielectric strength of 1500VAC. The momentary contact design means that the switch must be actively depressed in order to activate it. The terminals are accessible, allowing for easy installation and maintenance.
