Pushbutton Switches

Pushbutton switches are a type of switch that is activated by pressing a button or plunger. They are commonly used in a wide range of applications, from simple on/off control to more complex control and signaling functions. Pushbutton switches can have different contact arrangements, such as single-pole single-throw (SPST) or single-pole double-throw (SPDT), and can be momentary (where the switch returns to its original position when the button is released) or maintained (where the switch stays in its activated position until it is manually reset). Pushbutton switches are available in a variety of sizes, shapes, and colors, and can be panel-mounted, surface-mounted, or PCB-mounted, depending on the specific application.
