Mushroom Head 16mm 3Pin Red 250v 5A Emergency Push Button Switch Non-Latching Button

The 16mm 3-Pin Red Mushroom Head Emergency Push Button Switch (Non-Latching) is a robust and reliable safety device designed for emergency shutdown applications in industrial, commercial, and automation environments. This switch is engineered to provide quick, intuitive access to emergency stop functions, ensuring rapid response in critical situations.

Design & Build Quality:

1. Mushroom Head: The large, rounded mushroom-style head is specifically designed for easy pressing, even in high-stress situations or when operators are wearing gloves. Its bold red color ensures visibility and immediate recognition as an emergency stop button.

2. Color: Red is universally associated with emergency stops and danger, making the switch easily identifiable in any control panel or industrial setup.

3. Material: Constructed from high-quality plastic or metal, the switch features a durable, impact-resistant design that withstands harsh environmental conditions, vibrations, and physical stress.

4. Mounting: Designed for panel mounting, fitting into a 16mm diameter hole, which allows for easy integration into existing control panels, machinery, or control boxes. The switch typically includes locking nuts for secure installation.

2. Electrical Specifications:

1. Pin Configuration: Equipped with 3 pins, typically configured for Normally Open (NO) contacts. When pressed, the contacts close, completing the circuit and triggering the emergency stop function.

2. Voltage Rating: Compatible with a wide range of voltages, commonly 12V to 250V AC/DC, depending on the specific model. This makes it versatile for different applications, from low-voltage control circuits to high-power industrial equipment.

3. Current Rating: Supports up to 5A of current, making it suitable for controlling various electrical devices and machinery.

4. Contact Type: Momentary (Non-Latching) – The button returns to its original position immediately after being released, ensuring that the emergency stop function requires manual reactivation for safety purposes.

3. Mechanical Features:

1. Actuation Force: Designed to require minimal force for activation, enabling quick and effortless operation during emergencies.

2. Durability: Built to withstand extreme conditions, with a lifespan of up to 1 million cycles, ensuring long-term reliability even in demanding environments.

3. IP Rating: Many models offer an IP65 or higher rating, providing protection against dust, dirt, and water jets. This makes them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, including in wet or dusty environments.

4. Temperature Range: Operates effectively within a wide temperature range, typically from -25°C to +70°C, allowing for use in various climates and industrial settings.
