AV1920EA12Q04

Pushbutton switches provide a convenient way to control the flow of electricity in a circuit. The AV1920EA12Q04 Pushbutton Switch is a single-pole single-throw (SPST) non-momentary type, operating with a spring- return mechanism that returns the switch to the open position after being released. It is ideal for applications such as controlling solenoid valves, motors, and alarms in automation, security, instrumentation and medical systems.

Operation

The AV1920EA12Q04 Pushbutton Switch utilizes a push-to-operate motion, which requires the switch to be pressed down and held for the circuit to be closed. Once the switch has been released from the operating position, the mechanism inside the switch forces it to open, breaking the connection and resetting the circuit. The push-to-operate motion ensures that the circuit is returned to the off state whenever the switch is not being operated.

Construction and Design

The AV1920EA12Q04 Pushbutton Switch is constructed with a robust construction and a long-lasting design. The body is made of flame-retardant plastic and is resistant to shock and vibration. The contacts are silver-cadmium oxide and are designed to have a long electrical and mechanical life. The embedded spring is designed to provide a very low operating force but a secure return to the open position. The switch comes with five available colors for identifying and differentiation between functions.

Installation

The AV1920EA12Q04 Pushbutton Switch is easy to install and is compatible with a variety of mounting configurations. The switch is available in both panel- and surface-mount configurations. The panel-mount version is designed to snap into a panel while the surface-mount version comes with two mounting screws. Both versions provide an easy and secure installation, making them ideal for automated systems and industrial applications.

Conclusion

The AV1920EA12Q04 Pushbutton Switch is a single-pole single-throw non-momentary type, perfect for applications where control of a circuit is required. Its robust construction and long-lasting design make it ideal for industrial applications, automation, instrumentation and medical systems. Furthermore, its simple design and compatibility with a variety of mounting configurations make it a cost-effective switch that is easy to install in any setting.
