4. What is the metal material used to make the metal push button switch?

The metal push button switch is generally made from a stainless steel material but there other metal types that are used as well.

However, it is not just any steel type.

Manufacturers use a certain type of stainless steel primarily because of its properties that are very important for the applications of the metal push button switch.

Stainless steel is classified into different grades that identify its quality and its composition.

These grades are assigned by the SAE or the Society of Automotive Engineers.

Therefore the stainless steel grades are labeled as “SAE” followed by a set of numbers that represents its chemical compositions.

There are only two kinds of stainless steel grade that are used and they are namely:

• Stainless steel SAE 304 grade
  • This stainless steel grade is primarily used in different types of industries including for the metal push button switch.
  • It is composed of around 10.5% nickel and 20% chromium.
  • Its corrosive resistant property is perfect for outdoor or humid environment applications.

Applications of the metal push button switch

6. What is the contact position of the metal push button switch?

The metal push button switch has two contact positions just like the other standard push button switches.

These contact positions determine the default state of the contacts before you press the actuator.

The two contact positions and their descriptions are the following:

• (NO) Normally open metal push button switch
  • The contacts are open or do not touch each other hence no electricity is flowing through the metal push button switch
  • When you press the actuator, the contacts make “contact” therefore allowing the electricity to flow through and activate the function of the metal push button switch.
• (NC) Normally closed metal push button switch
  • The contacts are closed or connected and there is flowing electricity through the metal push button switch.
  • If you press the actuator, the connection of the contacts is broken and the flow of the electricity stops therefore stopping the function of the metal push button switch.

7. How a metal push button switch is determined in an electrical circuit?

The metal push button switch can be determined by its symbol in an electrical circuit.

However, there are times when the electrical circuit will use a different symbol of a push button switch but with a different classification due to its application needs.

These are the SPST, SPDT, DPST, and DPDT types of metal push button switches.

These are abbreviations of the number of poles and throws that a metal push button switch has.

Here’s a more detailed description of each of the metal push button switch classifications in an electrical circuit:

1. SPST Single Pole Single Throw
   • This is also commonly referred to as a basic on/off switch or sometimes known as the two way switch.
   • It has only 1 “on” position and has two terminals that can be connected or disconnected.
2. SPDT Single Pole Double Throw
   • This is also called the A/B switch.
   • It has 2 “on” positions but only with 1 terminal for its input.
3. DPST Double Pole Double Throw
   • This has 2 “on” positions with 2 terminals for its input.
   • It can be used to switch two circuits.
4. DPDT Double Pole Double Thow
   • This can be considered as a couple of combined SPST switches.
   • You can use either of the 2 output and input terminals or alternatively.

8. Does the metal push button switch keep its state after it is triggered?

This depends on the type of switch action of the metal push button switch.

There are two common switch actions and they are the following:

• Momentary metal push button switch
  • When you press the actuator of the metal push button switch, it springs back to its default position almost immediately after you release the pressure on it.
  • Also referred to as metal push button switch momentary, stainless steel momentary push button switch, metal momentary switch, or brass momentary switch in some variations.
  • This type of switch action is generally used for doorbells, small kitchen appliances, or loading equipment controls.
• Latching metal push button switch
  • Also called as “maintained” metal push button switch, metal push button latch, or stainless steel push button latch.
  • When you press the actuator, it stays depressed until you press it again and the button will spring back into its default position.
  • This is generally used for flashlights, light switches, audio types of equipment, and other application uses that need a maintained control rather than momentary.

Upon receiving the faulty metal push button switch, the manufacturer will conduct some tests to determine what caused the problem.

Your manufacturer will decide whether to replace the faulty product or repair it.

But if you have been using the metal push button switch or were trying to install it and it suddenly stopped working, then that’s another issue.

The damage caused by improper installation, supplying high current beyond its capacity, intentional damage from a high impact force, and other similar causes may not be covered by the warranty.

You will be advised by your manufacturer of the cause of the problem and whether you will need to pay some fees or not.

The length of time for the replacement or repair will depend on your distance from the manufacturer and the number of days for shipping it to the manufacturer and back to you.
