3) How to Connect a 12mm Metal Push Button Switch
In order for a 12mm push button switch to function properly, its wiring connection has to be done correctly. These buttons usually have 2, 3, or 4-pin terminals and each of these has a different way of connecting.
Wiring 2-pin terminal switch
To turn on the power, press the button once, then press it again to turn off the power while also removing the button.
This simple push button switch is termed the 2-pin push button switch. It’s simple to use and only serves the one function of toggling on and off.
Step 1) Attach the push button Com pin first to the positive terminal of the power source.
Step 2) One of the load wires will be attached to the NO/NC (according to the type of application you have used) terminal.
Step 3) Now connect the other load wire with the negative terminal of the power source.
Wiring 3-pin terminal switch
Step 1) Attach the push button Common pin with the positive terminal of the battery.
Step 2) Now, attach the NO terminal of the push button with one of the wires of the load.
Step 3) Good! Connect the other wire of the load with the negative terminal of the battery. That’s all!
Wiring 4-pin terminal switch
The 4-pin button switch is dual in function and its 4-pin configuration makes it easy to connect and operate. These switches are usually applied in lighting systems, fans, calculators, remote controls, alarms and many more. Let us consider the process of its wiring in simple steps.
Step 1) To begin, fix the positive input of the power supply to the com pin of the switch.
Step 2) Connect one end of the load circuit to the NO/NC pin on the switch, which is located opposite the contact pin.
Step 3) Fix the negative end of the load circuit to the negative end of the power supply.
Step 4) Fantastic! Now, what’s left to do is connect LED pins. Set the positive LED terminal to the NO/NC pin if you want the LED to be on while the button is pressed. Otherwise, to the Contact pin if you want the LED to be on when the button is released.
Step 5) Set the other terminal of the LED to either the negative or positive terminal ( remaining one) of the power source.
4) Types of 12mm Metal Push Button Switches
Push button switches are made to be rugged and highly functional with consistent performance for multiple applications. Here are the main types push button switches:
a) Momentary Push Button: The self-resetting button has a built-in automatic reset feature using a spring device. Pressing this button will compress the spring which, in turn, stores elastic potential energy and trigger an internal switch or circuit. When released, the spring pushes the button back to its original position which restores it to the unpressed state. This is a simple, reliable design and is widely used in equipment such as elevator buttons and doorbells.
b) Latching Push Button: A self-locking button is a specific button that, after being pressed, is kept in the pressed state because of an internal locking mechanism. These mechanisms could either be electronic or mechanical. This button has a locking feature that allows it to stay in the pressed state until it is pressed again. While being pressed, it releases the locking mechanism and the button regains its position.
Such buttons are usually employed in devices where perpetual functioning is required, for example, desk lamps, as well as the main switch of a particular device.
c) LED-Illuminated Push Button: The LED illuminated switch comes with an inbuilt LED light for better visibility purposes, especially during the night. It’s used in nighttime devices to ensure the switch is easily operated and adds to the overall beauty of control panels.
d) Waterproof Push Button Switches: These types of switches are used for marine devices, installations outside, and any place else that needs to be resistant to water. These waterproof switches can be used even in places where water exposure is common.
e) Anti-Vandal Push Button Switches: These switches are built to be scratch-resistant, making them useful in vulnerable locations. Other areas of use include public spaces as well as security appliances, where these switches will be effective even in rough areas.
