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.
The core of industrial control is the control of the motor, the core of the motor control is the contactor, the conventional component of the contactor coil control is the button switch, today we will take the button switch of GQELE Electric as an example, briefly introduce the function of the button switch in the second Function, use and installation in control loops.
Installation category
This series of buttons are φ22mm panel mounting buttons, and the panel mounting holes are φ22.7mm~φ22.3mm. Standard buttons can use 1~6mm thick mounting panels, and economical buttons can use 1~4mm thick mounting panels.
Circuit breakers, contactors, intermediate relays, thermal relays, buttons, indicator lights, universal transfer switches and travel switches are the eight most common components in electrical control circuits. The editor introduces the principles and applications of common electrical components with pictures and texts. Get a handle on how these components work in normal times by understanding their role in the electrical circuit.
1. Circuit breaker
Low-voltage circuit breakers are also called automatic air switches, which can be switched manually, and can be used to distribute electric energy, start asynchronous motors infrequently, and protect power lines and motors. Automatically cut off the circuit.

2. Contactor
The contactor is composed of two parts, the electromagnetic mechanism and the contact system. The common coil voltages of the contactor are AC220V, AC380V and DC220V. The electromagnetic mechanism of the contactor is composed of a coil, a moving iron core (armature) and a static iron core; the contactor contact system is composed of two parts, the main contact and the auxiliary contact, the main contact is used to switch the main circuit, and the auxiliary contact is used to control in the circuit.

Signal indicator light, a device that uses light to monitor the working or position status of circuits and electrical equipment. It is also the most intuitive and unique monitoring component in automation equipment. The main function is usually used to reflect the working state of the circuit (with or without electricity), the working state of electrical equipment (running, outage or test) and position state (closed or disconnected), etc. To remind the operator to deal with the fault in time, or operate a certain function to complete the relevant action.
Push button switch, also known as control button (referred to as button), is a low-voltage electrical appliance that can be manually reset and generally automatically reset. Buttons are usually used in circuits to issue start or stop commands to control the on and off of electric coil currents such as electromagnetic starters, contactors, and relays.
Main functions: generally used in control circuits with AC and DC voltages below 440V and currents less than 5A, generally do not directly manipulate the main circuit, but can also be used in interconnected circuits. In order to control the operation of the equipment, stop, pause or reset and other functions.
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:
