Product Information

Full details

The Demon Tweeks Stainless Steel Push Button Momentary Switch is designed for automotive enthusiasts looking to control various 12V electrical circuits with precision. Its key benefit is providing a reliable, momentary activation for functions like horns, washers, or starter motors, preventing accidental engagement. A potential caveat for some users might be its specific momentary function, which requires continuous pressure to remain active. This switch offers a durable stainless steel construction for longevity and corrosion resistance, featuring a simple screw bezel mount and screw terminals for easy installation and secure electrical connections. It is rated for up to 16 amps.

FAQs

What does 'momentary' mean for this switch?

A momentary switch is only active for as long as the button is physically pressed. When you release the button, the circuit is broken, and the device turns off.

What is the maximum current this switch can handle?

The switch is rated to handle a maximum of 16 amps.

Can this switch be used for accessories that need to stay on continuously?

No, this is a momentary switch. It is only designed to be active while the button is held down. For continuous operation, a latching switch would be required.

What type of connections does the switch use?

The switch uses screw-type terminals for making electrical connections.

How is the switch mounted?

The switch is mounted using a screw bezel that secures it to a panel or dashboard from the back.

Is this switch suitable for outdoor marine applications?

While the stainless steel offers corrosion resistance, it is primarily designed for automotive use. For marine applications, specialized marine-grade switches are recommended.

What voltage is this switch designed for?

The switch is designed for 12-volt DC electrical systems.

Troubleshooting

Switch not activating circuit

Verify electrical connections at the switch terminals and the circuit. Ensure the circuit is complete and the 12V power source is active. Check if the switch is rated for the current draw of the connected device.

Circuit remains active after button release

This indicates a potential wiring error or a faulty switch. Double-check the wiring to ensure it's correctly configured for momentary operation. If the issue persists, the switch may need replacement.

Loose mounting

Ensure the screw bezel is tightened securely against the mounting surface. If the panel material is soft, consider using a washer or backing plate for a more stable fit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction.

  • Easy and reliable screw terminal connections.
  • Versatile for various 12V automotive circuits.

Cons

  • Momentary action may not be suitable for all applications (e.g., constant on).
  • Requires a suitable mounting hole for installation.
  • Requires basic electrical wiring knowledge for connection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To install, first identify a suitable location on your dashboard or panel. Create a mounting hole appropriate for the switch's size. Insert the switch body through the hole and secure it from the back using the provided screw bezel, tightening it firmly but without overtightening. Connect your electrical wiring to the screw terminals, ensuring a secure connection. Refer to your vehicle's wiring diagram for correct circuit integration.

Compatibility: This switch is designed for 12-volt DC automotive electrical systems. It is compatible with circuits rated up to 16 amps. Ensure the intended circuit does not exceed this rating to prevent damage or malfunction.

Care: The stainless steel body can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which could damage the finish. Ensure connections remain clean and free from corrosion. Periodically check that the mounting bezel remains tight.
