ABFD401N-G

Pushbutton switches are a type of switch used to control circuits from a short distance, usually standing between two and four inches away from their attached electrical wiring. This type of switch is available in many different varieties, such as those featuring momentary action, multiple contact configurations, and LED illumination. One such example is the ABFD401N-G, which is a single pole double throw (SPDT) pushbutton switch with an illuminated LED for better visibility.

The ABFD401N-G is typically used in applications that require manual actuation from afar, such as doorbells, timer switches, remote control systems, and emergency stopping controls. It is composed of a plastic clear cover and ring, a momentary contact block, a gasket, two mounting legs, and an LED indicator.

The working principle of this pushbutton switch is quite simple and straightforward. When pressed, the contact block on the switch will allow the electrical current to flow and activate the device, while releasing the button will cause the contact block to move away and immediately cut off the current. This principle can be applied in many ways, such as activating circuits when the button is being held and deactivating circuits when the button is released.

The ABFD401N-G is quite durable and reliable for applications such as those mentioned above, with an IP65 degree of protection rating against dust and water, as well as a NEMA 1,2,3 and 4 rating for protection from other external hazards. Additionally, all components of the switch are safely covered by the plastic clear cover and ring, protecting them from direct contact with water or other materials.

Overall, the ABFD401N-G is an ideal pushbutton switch for applications that require hands-off control from a short distance, thanks to its simple working principle, top-tier durability, and LED illumination.
