Introduction to Pushbutton Switches

A pushbutton switch is a type of switch that is activated manually by pushing a button or lever. Pushbutton switches are commonly used to control the on/off status of circuits, machines, and devices. Pushbutton switches have become a common form of input device for human machine interface (HMI). They provide tangible feedback to the user, allowing the operator to know that an input has been detected and action taken based on the user-defined settings.

UB215KKG01N-5A Application Field and Working Principle

The UB215KKG01N-5A is a miniature, illuminated pushbutton switch designed to simplify circuit design. This switch is based on SPST (Single Pole Single Throw)mechanism and can support both normally open and normally closed on configurations. It is suitable for applications such as testing and signal switching.

The UB215KKG01N-5A switch has a single pole and two contacts. One contact is normally open and the other is normally closed. When the button is pressed, the two contacts alternate and make contact with each other, completing the circuit. In normally open configuration, the circuit is completed only when the button is pressed and in normally closed configuration, the circuit is completed when the button is not pressed.

The UB215KKG01N-5A switch features a LED in the center of the button which lights up when the button is pressed. This provides visual feedback to the user of when the switch has been activated. The LED has a wire connection which can be used to externally control the LED illumination.

The UB215KKG01N-5A switch is suitable for a wide range of applications including test equipment, instrumentation, lighting, audio/visual equipment and automotive electronics. This switch is rated for up to 1,000,000 cycles and is available in a small package size of 16.5 x 5mm.

Conclusion

The UB215KKG01N-5A is a versatile, illuminated pushbutton switch which is suitable for a wide range of applications. It is rated for up to 1,000,000 cycles and features a LED in the center which provides visual feedback upon activation. This switch is based on SPST mechanism and is available in a small package size of 16.5 x 5mm.
