Introduction
IntroductionMetal push button switches are fundamental components in industrial control panels, machinery, security systems, and automotive applications. Selecting the right switch requires a clear understanding of its technical parameters—from mounting hole size to electrical life and environmental protection.
At Socoje/Rugswt, we specialize in manufacturing high-quality metal push button switches. This guide provides a comprehensive overview of our product specifications to help engineers, procurement professionals, and distributors make informed sourcing decisions.
Key Technical Parameters
1. Mounting Hole Diameter
The mounting hole diameter determines panel compatibility. Our switches are available in standard industrial sizes:
| Diameter | Tolerance |
|---|---|
| 16mm | 16.0 – 16.1mm |
| 19mm | 19.0 – 19.1mm |
| 22mm | 22.0 – 22.1mm |
| 25mm | 25.0 – 25.1mm |
| 30mm | 30.0 – 30.1mm |
Tip: Always verify panel hole size before ordering to ensure a precise fit.
2. Switching Voltage & Current Rating
Our switches support a wide voltage range and are rated for both resistive and inductive loads.
Switching Voltage Range:
1.5V ~ 250V AC/DC
Current Rating by Load Type:
| Load Type | Specification |
|---|---|
| Resistive Load | DC-13: 12V/24V – 10A AC-15: 110V/250V – 15A |
| Inductive Load | DC-13: 110V – 4A |
Rated Heating Current (Ith):
20A / 250V AC
3. Waterproof Rating
Our switches are designed for harsh environments:
Standard: IP65 at the button end – dust-tight and protected against low-pressure water jets
Optional: IP67 – full protection against temporary immersion (up to 1 meter for 30 minutes)
Choose IP67 for outdoor equipment, marine applications, or food processing environments.
4. Operating Temperature Range
Reliable performance across extreme conditions:
Ambient Temperature: -30°C to +85°C
Suitable for cold storage facilities, outdoor installations, and high-temperature industrial settings.
5. Operating Mechanism
Two operating modes are available:
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| Self-locking | Press once to latch (stay in position), press again to release |
| Self-resetting (Momentary) | Returns to original position when released |
Both options are available based on your control circuit requirements.
6. Switch Combination
Standard configuration:
1NO (Normally Open) – the circuit closes when the switch is actuated
Other combinations (such as 1NC, 2NO/2NC) are available for custom orders.
7. LED Lighting Specifications
Illuminated switches provide clear visual status indication.
Lamp Voltage Options (AC/DC):
3.3V, 6V, 9V, 12V, 24V, 36V, 48V, 110V, 220V
Lamp Current Range:
2mA ~ 20mA
Available LED Colors:
| Code | Color |
|---|---|
| R | Red |
| G | Green |
| B | Blue |
| Y | Yellow |
| W | White |
LED Electrical Schematic:
Single-color non-polarity design – simplifies wiring and installation.
8. Terminal Pin Style
Standard pin dimensions for easy connection:
| Component | Pin Size |
|---|---|
| Switch Pins | 4.8mm × 0.8mm |
| LED Pins | 2.8mm × 0.5mm |
These dimensions are compatible with common quick-connect terminals and PCB soldering.
9. Materials & Durability
High-quality materials ensure long service life and corrosion resistance:
| Component | Material |
|---|---|
| Housing | SUS304 stainless steel / Brass nickel-plated / Aluminum alloy anodized |
| Button | Polycarbonate (PC) & SUS316 stainless steel |
| Base | Modified nylon PA66 |
| Contacts | Silver tin oxide alloy (AgSnO₂) – excellent arc resistance |
The combination of stainless steel and high-grade plastics provides superior durability in demanding environments.
10. Electrical & Mechanical Life
Our switches are built for longevity:
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Electrical Life | DC-13: 12V/24V 10A – >30,000 cycles AC-15: 110V/250V 15A – >30,000 cycles |
| Mechanical Life | DC-13: 12V 0.5A – >1,000,000 cycles |
| Contact Resistance | ≤50mΩ |
| Actuation Force | Approximately 2.5N ~ 4N |
| Button Travel | Total stroke: 3mm Contact stroke: 1.5mm |
11. Electrical Safety Parameters
Safety is critical in industrial applications. Our switches meet rigorous standards:
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Dielectric Strength | ≥100MΩ @ 500VDC/h |
| Withstand Voltage | Pins to housing: 250VAC 20mA/min |
These ratings ensure safe operation and protection against electrical leakage.
