Waterproof push button switches, as the name suggests, are switches that can be operated with wet hands. In some humid environments, it can be used with confidence because it has good sealing performance. The highest IP rating of the waterproof switch is IP68. The waterproof button switch has a reasonable design, long service life, high temperature resistance, and current shock resistance, which can meet your specific use needs.
Precautions
The specific application of these waterproof switches is restricted by many factors, such as the installation method and the installation direction of the product, the pressure difference of the airflow acting on the product, the strength of the fluid rebound and the working voltage. We also need to prevent the intrusion of corrosive gases or the intrusion of substances.
The waterproof metal switch cooperates with the circuit breaker to perform switch operations according to the needs of the system operation mode, and change the system operation wiring mode.
Classified according to the purpose and structure of the contact
(1) Normally open button
(2) Normally closed button
(3) Compound button classified according to operation mode and protection mode Buttons can be classified according to operation mode and protection mode, common button categories and characteristics:
(1) Open type: suitable for embedded and fixed on the panel of switch board, control cabinet or console.
(2) Protective type: with a protective shell, which can prevent the internal button parts from being mechanically damaged or people touching the live parts.
(3) Waterproof type: with a sealed shell, which can prevent rainwater from intruding.
(4) Anti-corrosion type: it can prevent the intrusion of chemical corrosive gases.
(5) Explosion-proof type: It can be used in places containing explosive gas and dust without causing explosion transmission, such as coal mines and other places.
(6) Illuminated button: There is a signal light inside the button, which is not only used to issue operation commands, but also serves as a signal indicator, and is mostly used on the panels of control cabinets and consoles.
(7) Key type: Insert and rotate with a key to operate, which can prevent be operated by a special person.
(8) Emergency type: There is a big red mushroom button protruding outside, which is used to cut off the power supply in case of emergency.
(9) Self-holding button: The button is equipped with a self-holding electromagnetic mechanism, which is mainly used in power plants, substations or test equipment. Operators communicate with each other and issue instructions, etc., and are generally panel-operated.
(10) Knob type: The contact is operated by rotating the handle, with two positions of on-off, generally panel-mounted.
(11) Combined type: combination of multiple buttons. (12) Interlocking type: Multiple contacts interlock with each other. Code-named off, on.

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.
The push button switch is an electrical appliance that is used to turn on and off small current circuits, which is pressed to act and released to reset. It is generally used in control circuits with AC and DC voltages below 440V and currents less than 5A. Generally, it does not directly control the main circuit, but can also be used in interconnected circuits.
In actual use, in order to prevent misoperation, the buttons are usually marked with different marks or painted with different colors to distinguish them. The colors are red, yellow, blue, white, black, green, etc. Generally, red indicates operation in a "stop" or "dangerous" situation; green indicates "start" or "connect". The emergency stop button must use a red mushroom head button. The button must have a metal protective retaining ring, and the retaining ring should be higher than the button cap to prevent accidental touch of the button and cause malfunction. The material of the button plate and button box where the button is installed must be metal and connected to the general ground bus bar of the machine.
Use Maintenance Edit
(1) The button should be checked frequently to remove the dirt on it. Due to the small distance between the contacts of the button, after many years of use or when the seal is not good, dust or various stages of oil emulsion will flow in, which will cause insulation reduction or even a short circuit accident. In this case, insulation and cleaning must be carried out, and corresponding sealing measures must be taken.
(2) When the button is used in a high-temperature place, it is easy to deform and age the plastic, causing the button to loosen and causing a short circuit between the wiring screws. According to the situation, a fastening ring can be added to tighten it during installation, and an insulating plastic tube can also be added to the wiring screw to prevent loosening.
(3) The button with the indicator light is easy to deform the plastic lampshade due to the heat of the bulb for a long time, which makes it difficult to replace the bulb. Therefore, it is not suitable to be used in places where the power-on time is long; if you want to use it, you can properly reduce the voltage of the bulb to prolong its service life.
If poor contact is found, the cause should be found out: if the contact surface is damaged, it can be repaired with a fine file; if there is dirt or soot on the contact surface, it should be wiped clean with a clean cotton cloth dipped in solvent; if the contact spring If it fails, it should be replaced; if the contact is severely burned, the product should be replaced.
Wiring problem with button switch
1. How to wire the button switch with light. There are five terminals on the button. Now I can only measure how to connect the power line, but I don’t know how to connect the light.
Answer: This situation is relatively simple. This kind of switch should have two terminals connected to the light, and the other three terminals are for switches. Find out the terminal connected to the light and the terminal of the switch, and then distinguish which two terminals you want to use to connect Switch, directly connect the light and the switch terminal to be connected in series, so that when the switch is turned on, the light will be on.
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.
Button (button) is a commonly used control electrical component. It is a switch used to control certain functions of machinery or programs, or to turn on and off control circuits, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling the operation of motors or other electrical equipment. Generally speaking, the red button is used to stop a certain function, while the green button is to start a certain function.
