What Are Push Switches?

Pushbutton switches are electromechanical devices designed to control electrical circuits through simple manual operation. When the actuator is pressed, the switch either makes or breaks an electrical connection depending on the switch configuration and application requirements.

Widely used across industrial equipment, OEM products, control panels, medical devices, security systems and commercial electronics, push button switches provide a reliable and intuitive interface for machine operators and end users alike.

Modern push switches are available in a broad range of styles, including:

• Momentary push button switches
• Latching pushbutton switches
• Illuminated push switches
• Anti-vandal push buttons
• Waterproof and IP-rated push switches
• Metal and plastic body push buttons
• Panel mount push button switches

At AB Components, we supply a comprehensive range of push switches designed for demanding industrial and electronic applications, including illuminated and non-illuminated models, multiple cut-out sizes and a wide choice of switching configurations.

Push Button Switches for Design Engineers

For design engineers, selecting the correct switch is critical to achieving long-term product reliability, compliance and usability.

Key considerations during the design stage include:

• Electrical rating and current handling
• Panel cut-out dimensions
• IP protection requirements
• Mechanical life expectancy
• Illumination voltage options
• Contact configuration (NO, NC, SPST, DPDT etc.)
• Terminal type and assembly requirements
• Operator ergonomics and aesthetics

Our push button switch range includes compact 12mm, 16mm, 19mm and 22mm panel mount options suitable for space-constrained designs and industrial control systems. We also supply IP65 and IP67 rated anti-vandal switches for harsh environments where durability and ingress protection are essential.

Applications include:

• Industrial machinery
• Process control equipment
• Security and access systems
• Medical equipment
• Cleaning machines
• Pumps and fluid handling systems
• Commercial appliances
• Kiosks and public access equipment
