Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does "momentary reset" mean for this LED push button switch?
A: A momentary reset switch only completes the electrical circuit while the button is actively pressed. Once you release it, the circuit opens again automatically — it does not stay latched in the ON position. This makes it ideal for applications like car engine starters, doorbells, and horn buttons where you only need a brief pulse of current.
Q: What voltage is this waterproof metal push button switch compatible with?
A: This switch is designed for 12V DC systems, making it widely compatible with automotive (car, motorcycle, ATV), marine, and standard DIY electronics applications. Always verify your circuit's voltage and current requirements before installation.
Q: How do I install this 16mm push button switch in a panel or dashboard?
A: Drill or punch a 16mm hole in your panel, dashboard, or enclosure. Insert the switch body through the hole, secure it with the included nut, then connect the wiring terminals according to your circuit's requirements. The LED is typically wired to a 12V power source with an appropriate resistor if not pre-installed.
Q: Is this push button switch truly waterproof for outdoor or engine bay use?
A: This switch features a waterproof, splash-resistant design with a sealed metal alloy body, making it suitable for outdoor panels, engine bays, and marine environments where exposure to moisture and splashes is expected.
