FAQs

What does 'momentary' mean for these buttons?

Momentary means the button only completes the circuit while it is being physically pressed. When you release the button, the circuit is broken. It's like a doorbell button.

What is the required hole size for installation?

The required hole diameter for mounting these buttons is 12mm.

Can these buttons be used for 12V DC applications?

Yes, these buttons are suitable for 12V DC applications as long as the amperage draw does not exceed 3A (at 125V, which is well above 12V DC) and the voltage rating is respected.

What is the difference between this and a latching button?

A momentary button activates only while pressed. A latching button stays in its activated state (ON) after being pressed and requires another press to return to its original state (OFF).

How many buttons are included in the package?

The package contains 24 momentary push buttons.

Are these buttons waterproof?

These buttons are not rated as waterproof. They are suitable for indoor use or applications where they will not be exposed to significant moisture.

What are the electrical ratings of these buttons?

The rated voltage is AC 250V/1.5A and 125V/3A. Ensure your application stays within these limits.

Troubleshooting

Button does not activate circuit

Verify wire connections to both pins. Ensure the circuit being controlled is functional and within the button's voltage/amperage rating. Check if the button is properly seated and the nut is tightened.

Button stays 'on' after release

This indicates a failure of the momentary mechanism. The button may be damaged or defective and likely needs replacement. Ensure you are using a momentary button and not a latching type.

Loose mounting

Ensure the nut and spacer are correctly positioned on the back of the panel. Tighten the nut securely. If the panel material is too thin or soft, consider using a washer or reinforcement.

Intermittent connection

Check for corrosion on the pins or any debris obstructing the internal contacts. Ensure solder joints or crimp connections are solid. The button itself may be nearing the end of its lifespan.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Cost-effective bulk pack of 24 buttons.
  • Variety of colors aids in project organization and identification.
  • Durable materials ensure longevity.
  • Standard 12mm mounting size is widely compatible.
  • Momentary action is perfect for triggering events.

Cons

  • Requires precise 12mm hole for mounting.
  • Not suitable for high-current applications.
  • Momentary function may not be ideal for all control needs (e.g., ON/OFF latches).
  • No integrated wiring, requires soldering or crimping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify the mounting location and ensure a clean, flat surface.
  2. Drill or cut a precise 12mm diameter hole for the button.
  3. Insert the button through the hole from the front panel.
  4. Secure the button from the back using the provided nuts and spacers. Tighten firmly but avoid over-tightening to prevent damage.
  5. Connect wires to the two pins for the momentary switch functionality.

Compatibility:

  • Requires a 12mm mounting hole.
  • Suitable for low-voltage DC and AC circuits up to the specified ratings (AC 250V/1.5A, 125V/3A).
  • Ideal for use with microcontrollers, simple circuits, and low-power devices.

Care:

  • Clean the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Ensure connections are secure and free from corrosion. Periodically check for debris around the button mechanism.
