Push button or pushbutton switches are integral electrical components that, when pressed, open or close electrical circuits. They are crucial for controlling a wide variety of electronic machines and systems. Push button switches are available in numerous shapes, sizes, and configurations, like buttons and keys, and are classified as either momentary or maintained. A typical example of a momentary switch is the push button, which is also called push to break switch, a normally open switch that disconnects the circuit when pressed. Furthermore, a maintained switch, on the other hand, when latched into one position, will stay in place until pressed again.
Push-button switches operate precisely like other types of switches, but the key difference is that they modify the electrical circuits they are connected to. These switches allow current to flow when the circuits are closed, enabling devices to work, while when the push button is clicked, the switch opens the circuit, stopping the electrical current flow and halting the connected device's function.
Push button switches come in a wide array of configurations, each tailored to meet specific needs. Common types include:
