AV1911E324R04

Pushbutton switches are a type of contact switch designed to be actuated by applying mechanical force, typically with a finger or thumb. They are common in everyday use and can be found in devices such as remote controllers or household appliances. AV1911E324R04 pushbutton switches feature a pushbutton typically located on the side and have a contact block connected to the device\'s control circuit via two spring-loaded contact pins. The contact pins allow the purpose of two states, usually an open and a closed state, to be activated when the button is pressed and closed when released. The contact block contains a mechanism by which the contact state is switched.

The AV1911E324R04 is a miniature, dual in-line contact pushbutton switch. It has a single SPDT normally-closed contact, plus a momentary normally-open contact and a common contact. The switch can be operated with a life of 100,000 cycles up to 15mA. The switch features a yellow-painted override button with a transparent reset slot, which is marked with a life indicator. The switch is UL rated and accepts 0.250” diameter Quick-Connect pins.

Applications for the AV1911E324R04 range from industrial and commercial to residential, for use as a momentary override switch, reset switch, or as a service disconnect switch. It has found success in applications such as robotics, food processing, air conditioning, HVAC, pumps, and medical appliances. It is an effective solution for applications that require an economical switch with a long life.

To understand the working principle of the AV1911E324R04, let\'s start with how a basic pushbutton switch works. A pushbutton switch consists of at least two contacts, one of which is connected to ground, while the other is connected to the power line. When the button is pressed, it creates an electrical connection between the contacts. This allows electricity to flow from the power line to the ground and to the connected circuit.

The AV1911E324R04 operates in a similar manner but with a few differences. It has an SPDT, normally-closed contact, plus a momentary normally-open contact and a common contact. When the button is pressed, the contacts switch to the normally open state. This allows current to flow from VCC to the connected circuit. When the button is released, the contacts switch back to the normally closed state, thereby disconnecting the current from the circuit.

Another difference of the AV1911E324R04 is the addition of a yellow-painted override button with a transparent reset slot. The override button can be used to initiate the momentary normally-open contact, allowing current to continue to flow through the circuit. The reset slot can be used to reset the switch to its normally-closed state and disconnect the current from the circuit. The switch also features a life indicator, which is marked with a number to signify how many switch cycles the switch has performed.

The AV1911E324R04 is a reliable and economical solution designed with a long life and versatile applications. Its miniature size and transparent reset slot make it perfect for applications with a limited amount of space, such as robotics, medical appliances, and HVAC systems. The switch is also UL rated and easy to install, making it an ideal choice for residential, commercial, and industrial applications.

In conclusion, the AV1911E324R04 is a miniature, dual in-line contact pushbutton switch designed to be actuated by applying mechanical force. Its SPDT, normally-closed contact, plus a momentary normally-open contact and a common contact make it a versatile solution for various applications. The switch also features a yellow-painted override button with a transparent reset slot, which allows for manual operation of the switch. Its UL rating, life indicator, and easy installation makes it an economical and reliable switch for industrial, commercial, and residential applications.
