Pushbutton Switches - Hall EffectSwitches are devices that are used to control the flow of electricity in a circuit. Pushbutton switches are a type of switch that is activated by pressing a button. Hall effect switches are a subcategory of pushbutton switches that use the Hall effect, which is a phenomenon that occurs when a magnetic field is applied to a conductor, to activate the switch. In a Hall effect switch, the button activates a magnet, which in turn produces a magnetic field that is detected by a Hall effect sensor. This sensor produces a voltage that is used to activate the switch. Hall effect switches are often used in applications where precise control and high reliability are required, such as in industrial automation and control systems.
