Wiring Guide: Momentary Connection
A 2-pin momentary switch works on a Normally Open (NO) principle. The circuit is only completed when the button is held down.
- Wiring: Connect one wire to Pin 1 and the other to Pin 2.
- Logic: Device stays OFF and turns ON only when pressed.
- Applications: PC power buttons, car horns, doorbells.
Industry Knowledge
1. What is a Push Button Reset Switch?
A push button reset switch, also known as a momentary switch, is a control mechanism that only stays in its active state while being physically pressed. Once released, it returns to its original position (OFF). In industrial machinery, it serves as a safe way to trigger actions like motor starts or system resets without locking the circuit permanently.
2. Latching vs. Momentary: What's the difference?
| Feature | Momentary (Reset) | Latching (Self-Locking) |
|---|---|---|
| Action | Returns to original position when released. | Stays in "ON" position until pressed again. |
| Best Use | Horns, Resets, Starters. | Power Switches, Light Switches. |

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the benefit of the screw terminal?
A: The screw-terminal-push-button-switch allows for easy, secure installation without soldering, making it ideal for field repairs and industrial vibrations.
Q2: Is the 16mm switch waterproof?
A: Yes, it is IP65 rated, meaning it is protected against low-pressure water jets and total dust ingress.
Q3: Can I get this switch in different colors?
A: The FLM16-FS-2 is a non-illuminated stainless-steel-reset-button, but FILN offers Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, and White LED versions in the same size.
Q4: What does "Momentary" mean?
A: It means the switch only works while you are holding it down. It "resets" to the OFF state once you let go.

A: Absolutely. It is rated up to 250V AC/DC at 5A.
Q8: What industries use this 16mm momentary switch?
A: It is widely used in industrial control panels, medical equipment, and marine dash controls.
Q9: Is the button impact resistant?
A: Yes, it has an IK08 rating, which means it can withstand significant physical impact.
Q10: Does it come with the rubber seal?
A: Yes, every switch includes a silicone waterproof gasket and a metal hex nut for installation.
