Introduction. The push button switch is usually used to turn on and off the control circuit, and it is a kind of control switch appliance that is widely used. It is used in electrical automatic control circuits to manually send control signals to control contactors, relays, electromagnetic starters, etc.
A ‘push to make’ switch allows electricity to flow between its two contacts when held in. When the button is released, the circuit is broken. This type of switch is also known as a Normally Open (NO) Switch. (Examples: doorbell, computer case power switch, calculator buttons, individual keys on a keyboard)
What does a push button do?
A push-button (also spelled pushbutton) or simply button is a simple switch mechanism to control some aspect of a machine or a process. Buttons are typically made out of hard material, usually plastic or metal.
A push to make latching switch activates a circuit when the switch is pressed. When it is pressed again the circuit is broken and the flow of electricity stops. These are the most common switch types and are also known as normally closed push switches. A push to break maintained switch works in the opposite way.
What are push switches?
A Push Button switch is a type of switch which consists of a simple electric mechanism or air switch mechanism to turn something on or off. Depending on model they could operate with momentary or latching action function. This means that when a button is pressed it can cause another button to release.
What is NO and NC in push button?
Terminal color distinguishes NO and NC contacts Some push button switches can be distinguished from the color of the terminal. Generally, the button caps are made of different colors. Green (or blue) is NO contact, and red (or pink) is NC contact.
Mechanical stability. When soldered down with four leads the part is can’t move in any direction. The shorted pins makes the pinout slightly more versatile when routing a PCB. When introducing 2 extra pins for mechanical stability is probably cheaper (and more rugged) to build shorted pins than to add unconnected pins.

How to Install a Starter Push Button Switch
- Connect a memory saver device to your 12-volt outlet or battery cables per the manufacturer instructions.
- Determine the best location for the push button switch.
- Use an electric drill and a drill bit of sufficient size to drill a hole large enough to mount the switch.
Push button start is designed to work similarly to using a traditional key ignition; you can turn on specific features by quickly pressing your push button start without holding it and without your foot on the brake. Check your owner’s manual for information on how many pushes activate which features of the car.
What is electronic push button?
A push-button (also spelled pushbutton) or simply button is a simple switch mechanism for controlling some aspect of a machine or a process. Buttons are typically made out of hard material, usually plastic or metal. The surface is usually flat or shaped to accommodate the human finger or hand, so as to be easily depressed or pushed.
A push-button may refer to any of the following: 1. When referring to software, a button, or push-button, is a graphical representation of a button that performs a specific action when pressed. 2. When referring to hardware, a button is a physical button on a hardware device.
