Push Buttons, Switches, Emergency Stops and Pilot Lights
Discover Schneider Electric’s wide range of push button switches & pilot lights to which are ideal for almost all industrial applications. A comprehensive range - available in metal & plastic versions, our products fit your needs of robustness, security and simplicity. Nearly all the basic aspects of our lives include electronic products in one way or the other.
We tend to pay the most attention to whether they are performing or not, while often neglecting other characteristics of these electronic products, such as their circuit principles, or even their power switches. There are an array of different switches which can be used for electronic products. The push button switch is one of them. The push button switch has a variety of different uses, be it in elevators to car stereos.
Benefits of Push Button Switches
- Operation Push buttons facilitate easy activation with a simple, intuitive push or press action.
- Their compact build and minimal footprint make push buttons ideal for installations where space is limited.
- Push buttons cater to diverse needs across industries, from consumer electronics to industrial machinery, due to their adaptable nature.
- They are constructed with robust materials and exhibit resilience to frequent use and wear.
A push button switch is a compact, sealed mechanism that finishes a full electric circuit when you press it. While it's in the ‘on’ state, a tony metal spring inside makes physical contact with two wires, which allows the flow of electricity. When it's off, the spring retracts, contact is suspended, and the current ceases to flow. The body of the switch is made of non-conducting plastic.
- Toggle Switches on Lamps: Toggle between 'on' and 'off' positions to control lamp electricity.
- Circuit Breakers in Electrical Panels: Safeguard circuits by cutting off excess current flow during faults for safety.
