The 16D1 Economical Metal Button: Where Durability Meets Affordability

In the world of industrial controls, you often face a tough choice: pay a premium for high-performance metal push buttons, or compromise on reliability with cheaper plastic alternatives.

What if you didn’t have to choose?

Introducing the 16D1 series metal push button—a rugged, IP67 waterproof switch that delivers heavy-duty performance at an economical price point. Designed for engineers, panel builders, and OEMs who need dependable signal and power control in demanding environments, this button bridges the gap between cost and capability.

Why the 16D1 Stands Out in the Industrial Market

✅ Built for Tough Environments
With an IP67-rated button face, the 16D1 resists dust, water jets, and temporary immersion—making it ideal for outdoor equipment, washdown areas, and marine applications. Its housing comes in SUS304 stainless steel, brass nickel-plated, or anodized aluminum, offering corrosion resistance and a professional finish.

✅ High-Current Switching Capacity
Unlike many low-cost buttons limited to signal-level currents, the 16D1 handles up to 7.5A at 250VAC (resistive) and 20A rated thermal current. This makes it suitable not just for control circuits, but also for directly switching motors, solenoids, and heaters within its rating.

✅ Large Silver Tin Oxide Contacts
The oversized silver alloy contacts ensure low resistance (≤50mΩ), minimal voltage drop, and long life—even under frequent switching. Gold-plated pins further enhance conductivity and oxidation resistance.

✅ Bright, Customizable Illumination
Featuring a large aperture and high-brightness LED, the button offers excellent visibility in low-light conditions. Choose from 10+ standard colors including multi-color and RGB options, with support for AC/DC voltages from 3.3V to 220V.

✅ Flexible Actuation Options
Select between momentary (self-resetting) or maintained (self-locking) operation to match your functional requirements—all in the same compact, panel-saving footprint.

✅ Easy Installation & Wiring
Available in five panel cutout sizes (16, 19, 22, 25, and 30mm), the 16D1 comes with a brass locknut and environmental sealing ring for secure, waterproof mounting. Standard 2.8mm quick-connect pins allow for fast, tool-free wiring.

Targeted Applications – Where the 16D1 Delivers Value

Pricing Advantage: How We Keep Costs Down Without Cutting Corners

The 16D1 achieves its competitive pricing through:

🔹 Optimized Design for CNC Efficiency – The housing and button are machined using high-speed CNC processes that minimize material waste and cycle time.
🔹 Standardized Component Library – Shared internal components (springs, contacts, LEDs) across multiple product lines reduce procurement and inventory costs.
🔹 Direct Manufacturing & No Middlemen – As a factory-direct supplier, we eliminate distributor markups and pass the savings to you.

Typical unit pricing for the 16D1 series ranges from $1.80 to $3.50 depending on configuration, housing material, and order quantity—often 30–40% below equivalent “brand-name” industrial buttons with similar specs.
