- High Current Capacity: Unlike standard 12mm buttons limited to 2A, the FILN model supports 5A 250V AC, allowing direct control of higher power devices.
- Compact 2-Pin Design: The threaded mount industrial control switch design allows for quick installation in tight panels with its short body length.
- Multiple Finishes: Available in 304 stainless steel for corrosion resistance or black aluminum for sleek aesthetics.
- Ease of Wiring: The standard 2.8mm pin terminals are compatible with soldering or female connectors, drastically reducing assembly time.
Terminal Type Comparison
| Terminal Type | Installation Speed | Best Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Pin Terminal (2-Pin) | Fast (Plug-in) | PCB assembly or quick-swap connectors. |
| Screw Terminal | Moderate | On-site field wiring with standard tools. |
| Pre-wired | Instant | Waterproof critical seals and limited space. |
Industry Applications
Industrial Control Panels CNC Machinery Marine Dashboard Systems Medical Devices Outdoor Kiosks
Installation Steps
- Prepare the panel by drilling a 12mm diameter hole.
- Insert the 12mm metal push button through the hole from the front.
- Slide the waterproof O-ring and metal hex nut onto the threaded body from behind.
- Tighten the nut to secure the switch firmly against the panel.
- Connect wires to the 2-pin terminals using soldering or quick-connectors.
Wiring Configuration
This 2-pin non-illuminated switch acts as a simple Normally Open (NO) contact. It completes the circuit only when pressed.
- Pin 1: Connect to Power Positive (+).
- Pin 2: Connect to Load Positive (+).
- Ground: Load should be connected directly to the power source negative.
Industry Knowledge
1. What is a 12mm Metal Push Button?
A switches push button with a 12mm mounting diameter is a miniature control device used to interrupt or establish an electrical circuit. Its metal construction makes it "anti-vandal," meaning it is resistant to tampering and environmental damage, making it a staple for public kiosks and industrial machinery.
2. Latching vs. Momentary: The Difference
| Operation Type | Behavior | Common Application |
|---|---|---|
| Momentary | Springs back when released (Pulse). | Doorbell, PC Power, Car Horn. |
| Latching | Stays in the "ON" position until pressed again. | Main Power, Light Switch. |
3. Understanding LED Indicator Colors
Although this specific model is non-illuminated, FILN offers custom LED versions. Here is the industry standard for button colors:
- Red: Emergency, Danger, or Stop.
- Green: Safe, Start, or Power On.
- Blue: Specific Function or Mandatory Action.
- Yellow/Amber: Warning or Standby.
- White: General Power Indicator.
