Momentary or Latching Push Button Switch Types
Latching switches will only require the user to press the switch once and will then remain either off or on until pressed again (light switch).
Momentary or latching is terminology used to describe many different switches. A momentary switch will require continuous compression to remain “on” or “off” depending on how the circuit is wired (alarm switches or fail safe circuits).
Within the category “momentary switches” there are “push to make” or “push to break” switches. A “push to make” switch is wired normally open or “off” when the button is compressed the electric circuit will connect – the switch will “make” the circuit. For example door bells, toilet flushes, shower systems in a gym.
A “push to break” switch will be used on a circuit which is wired normally “closed” or “on”. When the switch is compressed the circuit will break and the device will be switched off. These types of push button switches are used in alarms, refrigerator lights and fail safe circuits.
