EATON

• These pushbuttons work by mechanically interrupting an electrical circuit when the button is pressed.
• On pressing the button, the internal contacts close instantly to complete the circuit and allow electricity to flow.
• When the button is released, the internal contacts open, breaking the circuit and stopping the current flow.

Q. What is a flush extended pushbutton?

A. A flush extended pushbutton is a type of switch where the button sits level with the surface it is mounted on, resulting in a flush-like appearance. These flush extended units allow for a more seamless and integrated look unlike standard pushbuttons that protrude from the surface.

Q. What is the difference between momentary and maintained pushbuttons?

A.

• Momentary pushbuttons only remain activated while they are physically being pressed. They remain in their original state as soon as the force is removed. These pushbuttons can be seen in applications like a doorbell button or a keyboard key.
• Maintained pushbuttons remain activated after been pressed until an external force is applied to change their state. They are commonly used in applications where a circuit needs to be continuously powered, such as lighting control.

Q. What is the use of illuminated pushbuttons?

A. Eaton C22 Series pushbuttons have a built-in light source that provides a visual indication of the button's state.
