Manually operated switch

  • Momentary Action
    The "switching" time of the pushbutton is equal to the length of time that manual pressure is applied to the operating device.
    1-
    Direct operating
    The operating device makes direct contact with the button of the microswitch (the force and travel are those determined by the basic switch mechanism).
    2- Telescopically operated
    The operating device makes contact with the microswitch via a spring, thus enabling the total travel of the operating plunger to be increased.
