MPI001/RP/WH/12

Pushbutton Switches

The MPI001/RP/WH/12 is a type of pushbutton switch. which is used for applications in a wide array of industries, including industrial electrical, automotive, lighting and military applications. These types of switches are easy to operate, and are capable of providing a brief momentary contact - such as to control a motor or circuit - or greater sustained contact for a longer period of time.

Construction

The MPI001/RP/WH/12 typically consists of a casing, a spring and a contact lever. The plastic casings are usually either black or white, and they will usually feature a fixed concentric ring or a decorative flat design, depending on the specifications and requirements of the application. Typically, one side of the casing will have a PCB-ready connector or a cable connection, while the other side will feature a snap-in mounting connection. The spring is usually made of phosphor bronze with 6 active turns and is designed to allow the contact lever to be easily operated. The contact lever itself is made from a combination of brass and phosphor bronze and is designed to complete electrical contact when pressed.

Application field

The MPI001/RP/WH/12 can be used in many different applications. These pushbutton switches are often used in electrical controls for industrial machinery, such as for control panels for pumps, conveyor belts and motors. They are also suitable for valves, pumps and starters in the automotive industry; as switches for lighting systems in warehouses and other commercial applications; and even in military applications, such as for armament management systems or communication tools.

Working Principle

The MPI001/RP/WH/12 works on a simple principle. When the switch is pressed, the contact lever completes a circuit and current can flow. When released, the current flow is broken and the circuit is open. Depending on the specific requirements of the application, the switch can be configured to provide either a brief momentary contact, or longer sustained contact.

The MPI001/RP/WH/12 is a versatile pushbutton switch that can be used in a wide range of applications. It is easy to install, and the spring mechanism ensures that the contact lever is easy to operate. With its durable construction and simple circuit design, it is the perfect choice for many different industries.
