Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between a latching and a momentary push button switch?
A: A latching (self-locking) push button switch like this one stays in its last position after being pressed — press once to turn ON, press again to turn OFF. A momentary switch, by contrast, only maintains its state while being held down. This latching switch is ideal for applications where you need a persistent on/off state without holding the button.
Q: Is this push button switch suitable for outdoor or wet environments?
A: Yes! This switch carries an IP67 waterproof and dustproof rating, meaning it is fully protected against dust ingress and can withstand temporary submersion in water. This makes it an excellent choice for outdoor enclosures, marine applications, or any installation exposed to moisture or dust.
Q: What voltage and current ratings does this switch support?
A: This switch is rated for 2A at 12V, 24V, 125V, and 250V AC, making it highly versatile for both low-voltage DC applications (such as automotive and hobbyist projects) and standard AC applications (such as appliance switches and control panels).
Q: How do I install this 12mm push button switch?
A: Installation is straightforward. Drill or use a standard 12mm mounting hole in your panel or enclosure, insert the switch body, secure it with the included nut, and connect the prewired leads to your circuit. No soldering is required thanks to the prewired design.
