Latched Push Button Switch

A latched push-button switch is a type of switch that stays in the on or off position even after removing the actuation force. It is often used in applications where a momentary switch is not sufficient, and an operator needs to keep the switch in the on or off position until they decide to turn it back to its original state. These switches are available in various sizes and shapes, and their key features include the push-button, locking mechanism, and the electrical contacts.

One of the most popular types of latched push-button switches is the 15x15mm latched push-button switch. A 15x15mm latched push-button switch is relatively small, making it perfect for applications where space is at a premium. This type of switch is often used in control systems, lighting, and appliances to provide reliable on/off functionality. It is especially suitable for electronic equipment where reliable operations and safety are critical.

The mechanical mechanism of a 15x15mm latched push-button switch has three main components. The first component is the push-button itself, which is used to turn on or off the switch. The second component is the locking mechanism, which locks the switch into the on or off position after actuation. The third component is the electrical contacts, which manage the actual switching process.
