                1. What is a push button switch?

                A push button switch is used to control current through and off.

                Press the switch, the current will be connected, then the machine will start. Press the switch again, the current will be off, then the machine will stop working. It’s called a latching push button switch.

                When your hand press on the switch, the current will be connected and the machine will start. When your hand releases the button, the current will be off and the machine will stop working. It’s called a momentary push button switch.

                Except for momentary push button switch, push button switch is divided into many types, such as latch push button switch, metal push button switch, waterproof push button switch, LED push button switch, car push button switch, and emergency stop button switch, etc.

                2. How to wire a push button switch?

                According to the quantity of the push button switch’s pin, we will choose the wiring way. We will introduce that the 4 pin latch push button switch is connected to the 12V voltage as a case. Please see the wiring of the 4 pin latch push button switch.

                push button switch wire

                Firstly, prepare a 12V LED push button switch and a motor device.

                Then connect the positive pole of the 12V power supply line to the push button switch’s positive pole and side pin. The positive pole means LED light pin, the side pin means the push button switch’s electric pin.

                Connect the negative pole of the current to the other LED’s negative pole pin of the push button switch. Then connect in series to the motor device. The other wire of the motor device is connected to the power pin of the 12V push button switch. This informs a circuit return. Now we have completed the wiring of the push button switch.

                Press the push button switch, its LED will light up and the motor device will start. Press the 12V push button switch, its light will be off and the motor device will stop working.

                 


                3. How to use the push button switch?

                Prepare a 5 pin 12V lighted metal push button switch, a fan, a 12V power switch, please refer to the wiring of the 5 pin push button switch.

                Firstly, connect the push button’s ON and N1 pin to the positive and negative poles separately.

                If the 12V push button switch is with light, please connect the lamp pins in series. Press the switch, the 12V current is passed to the extension through the button switch, then the extension will work.

                With the same principle, installing the push button switch on the push button panel of the mechanical equipment can be operated like this.



                4. What is a momentary push button switch?

                Install the momentary push button start switch on the panel, then connect the 12V power supply. Press the push button switch, its lamp will light up. The 12V current is combined with the electric shock of the push button switch, then passes it to the motor of the machine and equipment, the machine will start.

                When releasing the momentary push button light switch, the light of the 12V LED push button switch will be off. The contact points of the push button switch are separated, the 12V current is disconnected, and the machine stops working.
