Brief about SPST Push Button

Push button has the current rating 3A@ 125V AC and 1A@ 250V AC. The Initial Contact Resistance is 20 Meg ohm (Max.) at DC 2.5-1A. NO SPST Push button switch is a Single pole Push to Make (Push Button also known as Push to Make) and only single circuit can be controlled using it. They come in Screw Terminals.

Normally Closed configuration push buttons are also available. Also different shapes of push buttons are available as per the requirement of the circuit’s designs. There are illuminated push button are too out there.

How to Use SPST Push Button

Push buttons are used in applications which requires momentary ON or OFF switching action. Normally Open Push button switch are initially in OFF state as the contacts are not in contact with each and when pushed down the contacts gets closed and the path established between the two terminals of the push button.

The circuit diagram below has input at the one terminal and the LED connected at another terminal. The Logic indicator indicates “0” by indicating white or no colour mark when switch is not pressed. The Led remains OFF.
