TP12SH8AGE Pushbutton Switches

The TP12SH8AGE Pushbutton Switch is used for a variety of applications including motor control, resistive loads, and lamp loads. This particular switch is designed with an 8 position key and a button, making it a great choice for applications that require a larger and more ergonomic key travel. In addition, the TP12SH8AGE is made with a rugged stainless steel housing and has a long-lasting and reliable construction for added protection.

Application Field

TP12SH8AGE Pushbutton Switches are suitable for applications such as security systems, industrial controls, plant automation systems, home automation systems, lighting systems, medical equipment and consumer electronics. The switch\'s 8 key positions can be used as switches, while the momentary action button can act as a control switch. The switch also features a 16 pin socket which can be used to connect outside peripherals or hold additional switches or buttons.

Working Principle

The TP12SH8AGE Pushbutton Switch operates using a single step contact system. When the pushbutton is activated, it completes an electrical circuit and the controlling contacts move against a stationary contact. This creates a single step circuit which can be used to control an application. For example, when the switch is activated, it can open or close a starter circuit in a motor, turn on or off a resistive load, or light up a lamp. The switch can be used in a range of applications, depending on the voltage and current specifications.
