Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between a latching (self-locking) push button switch and a momentary switch?
A: A latching or self-locking push button switch maintains its state after being pressed — press once to turn on, press again to turn off. A momentary switch only stays active while held down and returns to its default state when released. This 12mm stainless steel switch uses a self-locking mechanism, making it ideal for power on/off applications where you need the circuit to stay in one state without constant pressure.
Q: Is this push button switch suitable for outdoor or wet environments?
A: Yes! This push button switch carries an IP67 waterproof protection rating, meaning it is fully protected against dust ingress and can withstand temporary immersion in water. It is an excellent choice for outdoor panels, automotive dashboards, marine equipment, and any environment where moisture or dust is a concern.
Q: What voltages and currents is this switch rated for?
A: This 12mm latching push button switch is rated for 2A at 12V, 24V, 125V, and 250V AC. This broad voltage range makes it compatible with both low-voltage DC applications (such as automotive or LED circuits) and standard household AC mains wiring projects.
Q: How do I install this 12mm push button switch?
A: Installation is straightforward — drill or locate a 12mm mounting hole in your panel or enclosure, insert the switch from the front, and secure it with the included nut from the back. The pre-wired leads connect directly to your circuit, reducing setup time significantly. No specialist tools are required for most installations.
