KB15RKW01B-5F12-JF pushbutton switches are often used in industrial and commercial applications and are designed to provide electrical on/off switching operations that are both dependable and economical. They are available with a variety of mounting options and provide a range of push and pull actuators, contact configuration and electrical specifications.

On the most basic level, KB15RKW01B-5F12-JF pushbutton switches function to permit or restrict the flow of electrical current by way of an electrical circuit. In simplest terms, a pushbutton switch may be thought of as one or more electrical contacts inside a box. When the contacts are pressed, current is allowed to flow through the switch, with the result being that some other electrical device—lighting, engine, door access, etc.—is enabled or disabled. A release of the button returns the switch to its pre-pressed state, thus cutting off current to the device.

KB15RKW01B-5F12-JF pushbutton switches may be used extensively in a number of commercial and industrial applications, such as controlling electrical circuits in automobiles, appliances, security systems, or industrial machinery. Operators can either push or pull on the switch, activating or deactivating the circuit. Pushbutton switches are often used to control all manner of home automation, from door locks to lighting.

A KB15RKW01B-5F12-JF pushbutton switch can be powered by low-voltage DC or alternating current through resistive and inductive loads. This type of switch is mounted into an enclosure or panel using any number of mounting methods for a variety of applications.The number of poles and throws in the electrical configuration needs to meet the needs of the application and the type of load. The contacts in the switch may be of various types such as backplane, floating and ratcheting.

The internal workings of KB15RKW01B-5F12-JF pushbutton switches are perhaps best demonstrated by a simple example. If a user pushes the switch, a spring-loaded plunger moves down, making contact with an internal electrically conductive contact. This contact is connected to a circuit or electrical system and is changed from the "off" to the "on" position. When the user releases the plunger, it moves back up and the contact is again in the "off" position.

Pushbutton switches come in a variety of sizes and configurations, offering many levels of reliability and performance in a variety of application areas. KB15RKW01B-5F12-JF pushbutton switches offer a durable solution for many different applications, from industrial machinery to home automation.
