Pushbutton Switches

Pushbutton Switches are widely used for controlling and signaling in a variety of applications. These pushbuttons come in all shapes, sizes, and colors and can be implemented in a variety of ways; from stand-alone to edge-mounted or printed circuit board mounted.

One example of a popular pushbutton switch is the KB15SKW01-5C24-JC, which is a single pole double throw pushbutton switch. It is a medium size switch with a square or round mounting cutout. The switch has a maximum rating of 1.3A and a contact resistance of 20 milliohms.

Application Field and Working Principle

The KB15SKW01-5C24-JC is a normally open (N.O) pushbutton switch with a double pole single throw (D.P.S.T) circuit contact arrangement. This means that when the switch is pushed, it changes from a normally open state to a closed state, remain closed until the switch is released.

This type of switch is useful for many applications including home appliances, medical equipment, automotive and industrial controls and robotics. Some of the most common uses for this switch include controlling lighting, starting and stopping motors, activating alarms, and controlling valves and actuators.

The working principle of the KB15SKW01-5C24-JC pushbutton switch is fairly simple. When the switch is pressed, an internal mechanism causes the two poles of the switch to connect, thus completing the circuit. When the switch is released, the contacts separate, opening the circuit and allowing the current to flow once again.

This pushbutton switch is designed to be durable and reliable, as it is manufactured using a combination of plastic, zinc alloy, and brass materials. The switch has a long life expectancy and can withstand a wide temperature range of -20 +85°C. The switch contacts are a combination of silver and conductive plastics and the switches are UL listed.

Conclusion

The KB15SKW01-5C24-JC is a single pole double throw pushbutton switch that is ideal for a variety of applications. Its typical applications include home appliances, medical equipment, automotive and industrial controls, robotics, and others. It is constructed with a combination of plastic, zinc alloy, and brass materials to ensure high quality and reliable operation.

The switch is operated by the user depressing the pushbutton, which causes the contacts to close and complete the circuit. When the user releases the switch, the contacts open, breaking the circuit and preventing any current from flowing. The switch is designed to be reliable, as it has a long life expectancy and is able to withstand a wide temperature range.
