Pushbutton Switches: MPI001/28/BL/12 Application Field and Working Principle

Pushbutton switches are utilizing in various applications in the current market, including demanding industry and consumer applications. The application fields for the 18.2-mm diameter, MPI001/28/BL/12 pushbutton switches are including industrial automation, consumer electronics, medical systems, application which requires water-resistance, and countermeasure against overtravel. The MPI001/28/BL/12 switch has moderately long lifespan, up to 200K cycles in sealing conditions.

The MPI001/28/BL/12 switch is a pushbutton switch which consists of a circuit board which is connected to the actuator. The actuator has two contacts which open and close when the actuator is pressed in. The contacts are made of metal and provide an electrical connection when the button is pressed, thus allowing an electrical current to flow. The actuator also contains a spring which returns the actuator to its initial position when it is released.

The working principle of the MPI001/28/BL/12 switch is relatively simple. When the actuator is pressed it acts on two contacts inside the switch, which causes a short-circuit to occur. This short-circuit triggers an electrical impulse, which is registered by the circuit board. The circuit board then closes or opens the switch, depending on the prior configuration.

The MPI001/28/BL/12 switch is relatively easy to operate and is suitable for a large number of applications. The pushbutton switch is highly reliable and can be used in applications where water-resistance or extreme temperatures are present. Additionally, the switch is also designed with countermeasures against overtravel, ensuring that the contacts maintain a tight connection and will not be damaged due to excessive force being applied to the actuator.

In conclusion, the MPI001/28/BL/12 switch is a reliable, robust pushbutton switch which is suitable for a variety of applications. The switch contains two contacts, a circuit board and an actuator which all work together to maintain a consistent electrical connection when the switch is activated. Additionally, the switch is also designed with countermeasures against overtravel, which ensures that the contacts maintain a tight connection and will not be damaged due to excessive force being applied to the actuator.
