Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does "momentary" mean for this push button switch?
A: A momentary push button switch only completes the circuit while the button is actively pressed. The moment you release it, it automatically springs back (rebounds) to its original off position — making it ideal for applications that require a brief, controlled signal, such as triggers, doorbells, or reset functions in DIY electronics projects.
Q: What is the IP65 and IK08 rating on this 16mm waterproof switch?
A: IP65 means the switch is fully protected against dust ingress and can withstand low-pressure water jets from any direction, making it suitable for outdoor or splash-prone environments. IK08 is an impact protection rating indicating the switch can withstand significant mechanical shocks — perfect for rugged or high-use installations.
Q: How do I install the 16mm Momentary Push Button Switch?
A: Installation is straightforward. Drill or cut a 16mm hole in your panel or surface, insert the switch body through the hole, and secure it with the bushing mount from the back. Connect your wiring to the screw terminals on the 1NO (normally open) contact. No special tools are required for most standard panel materials.
Q: What colors are available for this waterproof push button switch?
A: This switch is available in four colors: Black, Green, Blue, and Red — allowing you to color-code your control panels or match your project's aesthetic with ease.
