PRODUCT CENTER
The 12mm metal pushbutton switch is a compact and robust component used in a wide variety of electronic and mechanical applications. With a diameter of just 12 mm, the switch is designed to be easily integrated into space-constrained devices and systems while still providing a reliable and user-friendly interface. Its metal structure not only enhances its durability, but also increases its beauty, making it suitable for industrial and consumer applications.
One of the standout features of metal push button switches is their robust construction. Typically made from materials such as stainless steel or aluminum, these switches are designed to withstand harsh environments, including exposure to moisture, dust, and extreme temperatures. This durability ensures that they can perform reliably for years, reducing the need for frequent replacements and maintenance.
In addition to their physical resilience, metal push button switches often provide superior tactile feedback compared to their plastic counterparts. This tactile sensation not only enhances user experience but also helps to prevent accidental activation. Many models are also available with illumination options, allowing users to easily locate the switch in low-light conditions—an essential feature for emergency applications.
Momentary Push Button Switches
Momentary push button switches are designed to remain in an "on" state only while they are being pressed. Once the pressure is released, the switch returns to its "off" state. This type of switch is commonly used in applications where temporary activation is required, such as in doorbells, alarm systems, and control panels for machines. Momentary switches can be further categorized into two types:
Latching Push Button Switches
In contrast, latching push button switches maintain their state after being pressed. When you press a latching switch, it toggles between "on" and "off" states with each activation. These switches are ideal for applications that require a constant state, such as powering on/off devices or lighting systems. They are often used in light switches, power tools, and other devices where continuous operation is necessary.
