When it comes to reliable, durable control components for high-demand environments—from home appliance panels to commercial public devices—the 16MM Short Type High Current Waterproof 1 NO Black Metal Push Button Switch stands out as a top choice. Let’s break down why this switch is perfect for washers, AC control panels, hotel/mall public equipment, and more.
Key Applications: Where This Switch Shines
This push button switch is engineered to perform in high-use, moisture-prone, and heavy-load scenarios:
- Home Appliances: Washer control panels (handles water exposure + frequent presses) & AC unit control interfaces (sustains high current for power regulation).
- Commercial/Public Equipment: Hotel HVAC controls, mall public service kiosks, building automation panels (resists dust, moisture, and repeated daily operation).
Technical Specifications (Tailored to Industrial/Commercial Needs)
Let’s dive into the parameters that make this switch a workhorse for B2B applications:
| Feature | Details | Why It Matters for Your Equipment |
|---|---|---|
| Mounting & Form Factor | 16-16.1mm mounting hole; short 3mm button travel | Fits standard 16mm panel cutouts (common in washers/ACs); short travel = fast, responsive operation. |
| Electrical Performance (High Current Rating) | – Resistive loads: DC 13-12V/24V 10A; AC 15-110V/250V 15A – Inductive loads: DC 13-110V 4A; AC 15-110V/250V 4A | Handles the power demands of AC compressors, washer motor controls, and commercial equipment circuits. |
| Waterproof & Environmental Resistance | IP65 (button end); -30°C to 85°C operating temp | Withstands splashes (critical for washers) and temperature fluctuations (AC outdoor units, public equipment in unconditioned spaces). |
| Durability | – Electrical life: >30,000 cycles (high current loads) – Mechanical life: >100,000 cycles | Survives years of frequent presses in high-traffic commercial spaces (hotels/malls) or daily washer/AC use. |
| Build Quality | Black metal (SUS304/316) key; silver tin oxide alloy contacts | Metal construction resists corrosion/scratches; alloy contacts = low resistance + long-term reliability. |
| Wiring & Configuration | 1NO (1 Normally Open) contact; 2-pin 4.8×0.88 terminal | Simple 1-circuit control (ideal for on/off functions in panels); standard terminals = easy integration into existing wiring. |
Why B2B Buyers Choose This Switch
For OEMs, panel builders, and equipment manufacturers:
- Cost-Effective Reliability: Balances high current capacity, waterproofing, and long life—no need for frequent replacements (cuts maintenance costs for commercial clients).
- Universal Compatibility: 16mm mounting, standard terminals, and 1NO configuration fit most existing control panel designs (washers, ACs, public devices).
- Compliant with Industrial Standards: IP65 rating, wide temperature range, and high cycle life meet the durability requirements of appliance and commercial equipment industries.
Whether you’re designing a new washer control panel, upgrading AC unit interfaces, or sourcing components for hotel/mall public devices, this 16MM short-type waterproof push button switch delivers the performance B2B customers demand.
