Pushbutton Switches

Pushbutton switches are an essential component in computer engineering, control circuitry, and programming. They are used to control electronic signals, regulate temperatures and humidity levels, and convert digital information into physical or mechanical equivalents. While they have a long history in circuitry and engineering, they have recently become increasingly popular in the consumer market, appearing in computerized devices and home appliances.

Pushbutton switches are categorized as either momentary action or maintained action. Momentary action switches require a short press to activate and will turn off when released. Maintained action switches, on the other hand, won\'t release until manually switched back off. Pushbutton switches also come in different styles such as rocker, toggle, and membrane.

D16EES11HGRNGRN Application Field and Working Principle

The D16EES11HGRNGRN is a maintained action Rocker Pushbutton Switch. It is a double pole single throw component that controls two circuits simultaneously. When the switch is depressed, it closes the circuit connection and allows current to flow through the component. When it is released, the connection is broken and the current is stopped. The D16EES11HGRNGRN is often used in commercial and industrial applications as a low current switch, such as for triggering an alarm or controlling a motor.

The switch is designed with a rubber boot cover, making it dust and weather resistant. The actuator, or the element that is pushed to activate the switch, is designed for tactile feedback so the user can confirm the switch is engaged. The terminals are made from gold-plated brass and are designed for a tight connection, ensuring minimal current leakage and longer component life.

Conclusion

The D16EES11HGRNGRN is a rocker pushbutton switch that is used to control two separate circuits. It is of the maintained-action type, meaning the switch runs continually until it is switched back off. The switch\'s gold-plated brass terminals, rubber boot, and tactile actuator make it incredibly reliable and durable. Typically, this switch is used in commercial and industrial applications to control low current signals, such as those needed to activate alarms or motors.
