Metal Push Button Color 15mm

Description

Product Description The DS-212 16mm Round Push Button Switch is a highly popular, economy-grade panel-mount miniature switch designed for reliable, low-power circuit triggering. Featuring a compact thread design and a distinct colored round cap (available in yellow, red, green, blue, black, and white), this switch utilizes a Single-Pole Single-Throw (SPST) Normally Open (NO) momentary configuration—completing the circuit only while the button is actively held down and springing back to the off position instantly upon release. Built with a lightweight metal or durable polymer threaded collar and paired with rear solder lug terminals, it snaps cleanly into standard electronics enclosures, hobby boxes, and modular control panels with minimum footprint overhead. Key Specifications Model: DS-212 Mounting Cutout Diameter: 16 mm (≈5/8 inch) Configuration: SPST Normally Open (NO), 2 Pins Operation Type: Momentary / Self-Resetting (No Lock) Electrical Rating: AC 3A / 125V or AC 1.5A / 250V (ideal for low-voltage signal logic and DC configurations up to 12V/24V) Included Hardware: Mounting hex nut and washer. Compatibility & Applications As a highly standardized component, the DS-212 is fully universal. It can replace or fit into any system requiring a momentary pulse switch that matches its 16mm installation footprint, regardless of equipment brand. It is widely utilized in the following compatible products and DIY setups: 1. Hobby Electronics & Prototyping Microcontroller Projects: Completely compatible with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and BeagleBone kits as an external system reset, menu selection clicker, or digital input button. DIY Test Benches: Functions as a quick pulse generator or signal bypass switch on custom test jigs and breadboard enclosures. 2. Automotive & Marine Accent Controls Low-Draw Horns & Alarms: Used as a compact horn button for motorcycles, custom golf carts, and small utility vehicles. Dash Panel Auxiliaries: Controls auxiliary triggers like window washers, custom interior accent lighting rigs, or gate-opener relays where high amperage isn’t handled directly by the switch. 3. Commercial & Industrial Panels Intercom & PA Systems: Works excellently as a compact Push-To-Talk (PTT) trigger on security desks or entry stations. Gaming & Arcade Rigs: Fits small-form-factor custom arcade controller decks or flight simulator auxiliary panels.
