What is a Push Button Switch?
Pushbutton switches are devices that control circuits and mechanical equipment by pressing. The size and dimensional function of the switch is designed according to the actual environment in which it will be used.
Types of Push Button Switches
| Terminal Type | Definition | Advantages | Disadvantages |
| Pin Terminal: | A pin terminal is a type of electrical connector where a wire is attached to a pin-like conductor. This conductor can be inserted into a socket or connector block. | Easy to connect and disconnect. Suitable for small and precise connections. Good for high-density packaging. | Prone to bending or breaking if mishandled. Not ideal for high-current applications. |
| Plug Terminal | Plug terminals are connectors that involve plugging a male component into a female component. | Easy to use and require no special tools. Versatile and can be used in a variety of applications. | Connections may become loose over time. Not as secure as other types of terminals in high-vibration environments. |
| Screw Terminal | A screw terminal involves a screw mechanism to secure a wire to the terminal. | Strong and reliable connections. Can accommodate a range of wire sizes. Easy to inspect and maintain. | Requires a screwdriver for installation. Screws can loosen over time, especially in vibrating environments. |
| Wire Terminal | Generally, wire terminals are end connectors used to make secure electrical connections. | Provides a secure connection. Can be tailored to specific wire types and sizes | May require special tools for installation. Not always reusable. |
| Wire Button | Often used in telecom and data applications, wire buttons are small, press-down connectors. Advantages: | Quick and easy to use. Requires no special tools. | Not suitable for high-power applications. Less durable compared to other types of terminals. |
