Key Features
- Exceptional Protection: Rated IP65 and IK08, this switch resists dust, water, and physical impact, ideal for harsh outdoor or industrial environments.
- High Electrical Load: Unlike standard 12mm switches rated at 2A, the FLM12-FJ-1 handles up to 5A 250V AC/DC, reducing the need for intermediate relays.
- Premium Material Options: Available in 304 Stainless Steel for medical and marine applications where rust resistance is critical.
- Compact Short-Body Design: Total length of only ~26.5mm makes it perfect for space-constrained control panels and handheld devices.
- Efficient 2-Pin Terminal: Standard 2.8mm pins support both soldering and quick-connect wire harnesses for high-efficiency assembly.
Applications
Industrial control panels CNC machines Automation equipment Electrical cabinets Marine systems Medical devices
Installation Guide
- Panel Preparation: Drill a precise 12mm diameter hole in your mounting surface.
- Insert Switch: Place the button actuator through the hole from the front side of the panel.
- Secure Nut: Slide the metal hex nut from the back and tighten it against the panel thread.
- Wiring: Connect your circuit to the two pin terminals using either soldering or 2.8mm connectors.
Wiring Guide (Normally Open Logic)
The 2-pin momentary switch operates on a simple Normally Open (NO) logic. The circuit completes only when the button is held down.
Wiring Logic: Power (+) connects to Pin 1; Device (+) connects to Pin 2.
- Idle State: Circuit Disconnected (Device OFF).
- Pressed State: Circuit Connected (Device ON).
Industry Knowledge
1. What is a 12mm metal push button switch?
A 12mm metal push button switch is a compact electrical component used to control the flow of current in a circuit. In industrial settings, these switches are favored for their durability and "vandal-proof" nature. They are panel-mounted and provide a tactile response to the user, ensuring clear operation feedback. Being "momentary" means they only maintain their state while actively being pressed.
2. What is the difference between latching and momentary?
| Feature | Momentary (This Model) | Latching (Push-Lock) |
|---|---|---|
| Action | Springs back after release | Stays depressed/locked |
| State Reset | Automatic | Requires second press |
| Common Use | Horns, Doorbells, PC Start | Light switches, Power Mains |
