Pushbutton Switches

Pushbutton switches are widely used as control devices across many industries due to their easy constructions and low cost. 700DP7B20M6QEC1GRN is a specific type of momentary pushbutton switch which can be wired to a vast array of electrical circuits. The main application field of 700DP7B20M6QEC1GRN is the creation of a physical interface used to control a wide selection of electronic safeguards and commands. The most common usage involves the automation of motor systems and the operation of other electrical equipment.

Overview

700DP7B20M6QEC1GRN is a single pole double throw (SPDT) pushbutton switch. This type of switch is triggered when the button is pressed, creating a momentarily open contact which reverts to the original state when the button is released. The switch features a metal casing which provides protection against dust, moisture and environmental damage. On top of the switch can be found a circular button, commonly with a surrounding bezel. This element is used to trigger the switch. The switch can feature additional terminals in order to convert the assembly into a multiple pole switch which is capable of controlling electrical circuits in more than one direction.

Working Principle

The internal mechanics of 700DP7B20M6QEC1GRN are quite simple. By pressing the central button, an electrical contact is created and the electrical circuit becomes completed. As the contact is broken, the current flow stops and the switch is reverted back to its original form. This type of switch is a Momentary Control when used with a spring. Instead of reverting to the original form after a certain amount of time, the spring will readjust the contact as the central button is released.

700DP7B20M6QEC1GRN belongs to a wide selection of switches which can be used to control various electrical processes and functions. Other types of momentary switches are available, including the illuminated Push-On Push-Off models which feature a small LED light inside the case. Additionally, latching pushbutton switches can be used when a momentary action is not suitable. These switches require two separate commands in order to change the contact configuration. Finally, illuminated switches are also available and feature LEDs which can be used to indicate certain states of the electrical circuit.
