Common Push Button Switch Function
A button is a control switch that is operated by a certain part of the human body (usually a finger or palm) and has a spring stored energy to reset. It is the most commonly used master electrical appliance. The allowable current through the contact of the button is small, generally not more than 5A. Therefore, under normal circumstances, it does not directly control the on and off of the main circuit (high current circuit), but sends command signals in the control circuit (small current circuit) to control electrical appliances such as contactors and relays, and then they control the main circuit On-off, function conversion or electrical interlocking.
