The appliances we use every day at home or in our business establishments consist of several essential components. These components are also made up of smaller devices and parts that are carefully assembled to allow our appliances’ smooth and accurate operation.
One of the smaller devices that make up the components of the machines we use is the LED pilot light. It is one of the most reliable indications of whether a certain device operates well. Let’s define these lights, applications, benefits, specifications, etc.
A push button is a manually controlled master electrical appliance. It is mainly used to issue operation commands, turn on or off the control circuit, and control the operation of mechanical and electrical equipment. The working principle of the button is very simple. For the normally open contact, the circuit is disconnected before the button is pressed. After the button is pressed, the normally open contact is connected and the circuit is also connected; for the normally closed contact, Before the button is pressed, the contacts are closed, and when the button is pressed, the contacts are opened and the circuit is broken. Due to the needs of the work of the control circuit, a button can also have multiple pairs of contacts that act simultaneously.
Buttons have a wide range of uses, such as starting and stopping of lathes, forward rotation and reverse rotation, etc.; start, stop, rise, fall, forward, backward, left, right, slow or fast operation of tower cranes, etc., all need buttons control.
The push button switch refers to a switch that uses a button to push the transmission mechanism to make the moving contact and the static contact press on or off and realize the circuit switching. The push button switch is a kind of master electrical appliance with simple structure and wide application. In electrical automatic control circuits, it is used to manually send control signals to control contactors, relays, electromagnetic starters, etc.
The button switch may be the simplest component in the electrical circuit, but it controls the lifeblood of the entire control circuit, so it is also called the "master switch". Understanding all kinds of button switches and using them skillfully and flexibly can make us get twice the result with half the effort.
Button switches are used to switch on or off small current circuits in a short period of time, and are mainly used in electrical control circuits. The current allowed to flow through the button switch is small, generally not more than 5A.
The button is generally composed of a button cap, a return spring, a bridge-type moving contact, a static contact, a pillar connecting rod, and a housing. The opening and closing state of the contacts when the button is not subjected to external force (that is, static), is divided into a stop button (that is, a dynamic break button), a start button (that is, a dynamic close button) and a reset button (that is, a combination of a dynamic close and a dynamic break. integrated button). When the button is under the action of external force, the opening and closing state of the contact changes: the normally open contact under static state is closed, and the normally closed contact under static state is open.
Start and stop button switch, generally used for start and stop. Generally, there are green, red, yellow and so on. We usually use the green button as start, the red button as stop, and the yellow button as jog.
In fact, their internal structure is the same.
See the start, pass, and reset in the first picture for the physical picture. The start and reset buttons are different from the pass button. The start and reset buttons are push button switches with indicator lights. The physical contact diagram is as follows:
