AV2511E712Q04

Pushbutton switches are simple to operate and require little effort to press. AV2511E712Q04 is one of such button switches and has a wide range of application. It finds uses in home appliances, industrial applications, automobile, and a variety of interior applications. To understand the working principle and explore the application fields to which it can be utilized, let us explore further.

Construction of AV2511E712Q04

AV2511E712Q04 has a polyamide housing (RAL 7035). This is further covered with a white bezel which is also made of polyamide. Internally, the switch is composed of two contacts: Normally Open (NO) & Normally Closed (NC). This being a push-on switch, the switch is triggered when it is pressed. It has a preset torque level of 0.6Nm, an actuation force of 400gf, an insulation resistance of 1000MΩ, and a rated current of 16A.

Working Principle

AV2511E712Q04 operates on the principle of a push-on switch, which involves the closing of contacts when the switch is pressed. This particular switch is composed of two contacts - the Normally Open (NO) and the Normally Closed (NC). When it is pressed, current flows through the NC contact and then through the NO contact. This turns on electric current to the appliance. The current can be diverted if the appliance requires a lower voltage by using a resistor.

Application Field

AV2511E712Q04 is used in a variety of applications such as home appliances, industrial applications, automobiles, and interior applications. In the home appliances segment, it finds uses in the ovens, refrigerators, washing machines, food processors and much more. In industrial applications, it is used for factory automation and control panels. In an automobile, it can be used for radiator fans, air conditioning, and radio control. In the interior segment, it is used in offices and residences for lighting control, doorbells, washing machines, and other haptic demands.

Advantages

AV2511E712Q04 has very low actuation force hence making it easier to press. Being composed of two contacts, it helps divert the current which is suitable for various appliances that require input voltage at a lower level. It also has a good insulation resistance which prevents the voltage from leaking. Moreover, the white bezel surrounding it helps add aesthetics to the appliance or the setup in which it is used.
