Or as low as A press button, also known as a push button, is a mechanical or electrical switch that is activated by pushing a button. It’s a common way to control electrical circuits, initiate actions on machines, or interact with various devices. Press buttons are primarily used to control electrical circuits by opening or closing them, or to trigger a specific action on a device. They come in various forms, including momentary (where the circuit is only on while the button is pressed) and latching (where the circuit stays on after the button is released). When a press button is pushed, it actuates an internal switching mechanism, either making or breaking contact within the electrical circuit, or triggering a desired action.
Terminology:
Normally Open (NO):
A push button where the circuit is broken when the button is not pressed and closed (circuit connected) when pressed.
Normally Closed (NC):
A push button where the circuit is closed (circuit connected) when the button is not pressed and broken (circuit open) when pressed.
SPST: Single Pole Single Throw
SPDT: Single Pole Double Throw
DPST: Double Pole Single Throw
DPDT: Double Pole Double Throw
PTM/RTB: Push To Make/Release To Break
These terms refer to the number of poles and throws in the switch, describing the electrical circuitry.
