Momentary switches: Change current with a pushbutton switch
A push button switch causes a temporary change in an electrical circuit only while the switch is physically pushed. A spring returns the switch to its original position immediately afterwards. The pushbutton is typically made of plastic or metal and may be flat-surfaced or contoured to the finger or hand. Also known as momentary switches, they are designed and manufactured to the highest quality standards. We offer push button switch types in wide ranges from standard to IP-rated. Our portfolio includes Alcoswitch and KISSLING switches and common applications include include emergency stop (e-stop) and alarm switches, calculator buttons, doorbells, and refrigerator light switches.
