PA562J Switches

Pushbutton Switches are a type of electrical switch which allows current to flow through a circuit when the switch is engaged. The PA562J Pushbutton Switch is a low profile, snap-action switch that is designed to function in a variety of applications. It features a two-position, momentary-off, momentary-on, center-off or maintained action. Its low profile design and UL approved insulation make it suitable for use in confined spaces.

The PA562J Pushbutton Switch is commonly used in the control and operation of lighting, audio systems and many other devices, including industrial machinery and process automation. This switch is especially suited for use in applications where current rating, repeatability, and performance are a critical factor.

The PA562J Pushbutton Switch is designed to switch on and off up to 10A of current. It is constructed from a UL recognized nylon material which offers the maximum level of electrical insulation. The switch has a contact rating of 10A @ 30VAC and 10A @ 28VDC. The switch also features a momentary actuation or maintained contact action depending on how the switch is wired.

The working principle of the PA562J Pushbutton Switch is fairly straightforward. The switch is activated by pressing the switch button which causes two internal contacts to make and break contact with the contacts of the switch. This creates an electrical circuit, allowing the current to flow through the contacts. When the button is released, the internal contacts break contact, stopping the flow of current. The switch is designed to offer a consistent amount of current flow even after repeated actuations.

The PA562J Pushbutton Switch is a reliable and durable product that offers excellent performance for a wide variety of applications. It is designed to meet the highest standards of safety, performance and reliability. This switch is perfect for factory automation, lighting systems, audio equipment, and other industrial and commercial applications. Its low profile design and UL approved insulation make it suited for use in confined spaces.
