This Momentary Push Button Micro Switch combines the high-reliability internal mechanism of a micro switch with the convenient interface of a panel-mounted push button. Featuring a vibrant red actuator cap, this switch is designed for applications requiring temporary circuit activation, such as reset triggers, machine starts, or signal inputs. The robust teal-colored housing contains a sensitive snap-action mechanism that ensures a rapid and consistent electrical response every time the button is pressed.
High-Visibility Red Actuator: The large, cylindrical red cap provides a clear target for manual operation and excellent visual status in any control array.
Reliable Momentary Action: Specifically engineered for "Push-On" functionality, automatically returning to the open position immediately upon release.
Threaded Panel Mount Design: Equipped with a metal threaded neck, washer, and hex nut for secure installation into standard circular panel cutouts.
Three-Terminal Versatility: Features three spade-style terminals (Common, Normally Open, Normally Closed), allowing for flexible wiring as either a "push-to-make" or "push-to-break" switch.
Durable Industrial Housing: Constructed from heat-resistant synthetic materials to maintain mechanical integrity under frequent use and industrial conditions.
This Micro Switch Push Button is an ideal solution for:
Industrial Machinery: Functioning as a "Start" or "Jog" button for precise equipment control.
Safety & Security Systems: Used as a manual trigger for alarms, emergency resets, or door release mechanisms.
Custom Control Panels: High-quality input interface for laboratory equipment, testing rigs, and specialized industrial consoles.
Heavy-Duty DIY Projects: Providing professional-grade switching for custom automotive mods, arcade cabinets, or large-scale robotics.
Switch Type: Momentary Micro Switch (Push-On).
Actuator Style: Cylindrical Red Cap.
Mounting Style: Threaded Neck with Hex Nut.
Terminals: 3-Pin Spade Terminals (COM/NO/NC).
Body Color: Green.
Is this switch latching or momentary?
This is a momentary switch. It only stays active while your finger is physically pressing the red button and springs back instantly when released.
Can I wire this to be "Normally Closed"?
Yes. Because it features three terminals (COM, NO, and NC), you can choose to wire it so the circuit is normally complete and breaks only when the button is pushed.
What is the benefit of the micro switch base?
The micro switch base provides a much longer mechanical life and higher current handling capability compared to standard small tactile buttons, making it suitable for more demanding applications.
