Applications

Industrial Control CNC Machines Automation Marine Systems Medical Devices Electrical Cabinets

Installation Steps

1. Drill a 12mm diameter hole in the mounting panel.
2. Insert the switch from the front side of the panel.
3. Secure the switch from the back using the provided metal hex nut.
4. Connect the wiring to the 4-pin terminals (Switch contacts and LED pins).

4-PIN LED Wiring Guide

A 4-PIN switch consists of two parts: Switch Contacts and LED Terminals. Below are the two standard ways to wire the LED indicator.

Method 1: LED Synchronized with Device

Logic: The LED only turns ON when the button is pressed and the device is active.

• Connect LED (+) to the Output side of the switch.
• Connect LED (-) to Power Negative.

Method 2: LED Always ON (Backlight Mode)

Logic: The LED stays ON constantly to help locate the switch in the dark.

• Connect LED (+) directly to Power Positive.
• Connect LED (-) to Power Negative.

Industry Knowledge

What is a 12 Volt Push Button Switch?

A 12 volt push button switch is a specialized electrical component used to control low-voltage DC circuits. In industrial settings, these switches act as the interface between the user and the machine, managing everything from simple power resets to complex automation sequences. The 12mm size refers to the mounting hole diameter, making it one of the most popular sizes for compact control boards where space is at a premium.

Latching vs. Momentary: Which do you need?

Feature	Momentary	Latching
Action	Springs back after release	Stays in place (On/Off)
Typical Use	Car Horns, Door Bells, PC Power	Main Power, Light Switches

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What does the LED color signify?
A: Red is often for Emergency/Stop, Green for Start, Blue for Info, Yellow for Caution, and White for general lighting. Q2: Is this 12v push button switch waterproof?
A: Yes, it is rated IP65, meaning it is protected against dust and low-pressure water jets. Q3: Can I use this with 220V AC?
A: The switch contact can handle 250V AC. Ensure you select the 220V LED version for the indicator. Q4: Why choose stainless steel over plastic?
A: Stainless steel offers superior durability, IK08 impact resistance, and a professional industrial aesthetic. Q5: What is the benefit of a 4-pin design?
A: It separates the LED circuit from the switch circuit, allowing for more flexible wiring (Sync or Backlight modes). Q6: How long is the service life?
A: It has a mechanical life of 500,000 cycles and an electrical life of up to 100,000 cycles. Q7: Can I get a pre-wired version?
A: Yes, FILN offers custom wire length and connector assembly services. Q8: What is the "High Head" design for?
A: The high head makes the button easier to locate and press, especially if the operator is wearing gloves. Q9: Is the LED dimmable?
A: Yes, the LED can be dimmed using external PWM controllers or resistors. Q10: Does it come with the mounting nut?
A: Yes, each switch includes a metal hex nut and a waterproof rubber O-ring.
