Suitable for wet or dusty environments, these buttons are designed for easy installation without soldering. The buttons have a 19mm mounting hole and a 1mm thread, with rated current and voltage of 2A/12V/24V/125V/250V. The terminal holes are 2.1mm in diameter, accommodating a maximum AWG 12 wire. These buttons are universally compatible with 12V Car, SUV, Truck, Van, RV, and Boat/Yacht applications and are ideal for electromagnetic starters, relays, horn buttons, PC power buttons, or any circuit control.
This 3-piece set of Gebildet momentary push buttons is designed for users needing robust and waterproof circuit control, especially in harsh environments like vehicles or boats. The key benefit is their durable stainless steel construction and IP65 rating, ensuring reliability against water and dust. A minor caveat is the 19mm mounting hole size, which requires specific panel preparation. These buttons feature screw-type terminals for easy installation without soldering and are universally compatible with 12V systems.

FAQs
What does 'momentary' mean for a push button?
A momentary push button only completes the electrical circuit while the button is being pressed. As soon as you release it, the circuit is broken. This is different from a latching button that stays on until pressed again.
What is the IP65 rating?
The IP65 rating indicates that the button is protected against dust ingress and is also protected against water jets from any direction. This makes it suitable for use in demanding environments.
Do I need to solder the wires?
No, these buttons feature screw-type terminals, allowing you to secure the wires directly with screws, which simplifies installation and requires no soldering.
What size hole do I need to mount this button?
You will need to drill a 19mm diameter hole for mounting this button.
Can these buttons be used with 24V systems?
Yes, the buttons are rated for various voltages, including 12V and 24V, with a maximum current of 2A.
Are these buttons suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, due to their stainless steel construction and IP65 waterproof rating, they are designed to withstand outdoor conditions.
What is the maximum wire size I can use with the terminals?
The terminal holes are 2.1mm in diameter and can accommodate a maximum wire size of AWG 12.
Troubleshooting
Button not making electrical contact
Ensure wires are securely fastened to the screw terminals. Verify the button is properly seated in its mounting hole. Check that the wire gauge is appropriate (max AWG 12).
Button feels stiff or difficult to press
Check for obstructions around the button mechanism. Ensure the mounting panel is not deforming the button housing. Clean any visible debris from the button actuator.
Corrosion or rust on the button
While constructed of stainless steel, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals could cause surface discoloration. Clean gently with a soft cloth. Inspect the IP65 seal to ensure no water ingress points.
